Molasses is a thick, black byproduct of the sugar cane processing. There are three main varieties - light molasses produced from the first boiling, darker molasses from the second, and blackstrap molasses from the third boiling which contains the highest concentration of vitamins and minerals. Blackstrap molasses provides many benefits like antioxidants and minerals but is very viscous. Molasses can be used for ethanol production through fermentation, as animal feed by mixing with carriers, and as fertilizer by mixing with compost. The production of biogas from molasses involves anaerobic digestion through four steps to break down organic compounds and produce methane gas.
