Molasses is a thick gelatin residue in sugar processing which can not be further economically crystallized. It consists of solids, sucrose and reducing sugars. As per the amount of reducing sugars present molasses is graded as I, II, III and below Grade. Molasses having reducing sugar above 50% are taken as I grade, and below 40% are below grade. The commercial value of molasses is tested for the Brix (Total Dissolved solid) and TRS (Total reducing sugars) which represent its quality and grades for sale.
