Most
sites says that it is kind of hard to predict its compostion as it varies,
with location, sugar cane variety, time of the
year, type of soil, climate etc… but as a
guideline here is some analysis of molasses. http://www.rhhall.ie/bulletins/molasses_4.htm http://www.suga-lik.com/molasses/composition.html http://www.premiermolasses.ie/silage.htm We can
see that it is a good source of Potassium. This is
an analysis of Dry Molasses. Sorry
but this one here is in portuguese but it says basically the following
: http://www.indumel.com.br/port/analise.asp Dry
Molasses composition : Crude
Energy (minimum ) ….3,100 kcal/kg Moisture
( maximum) ………5 % Total
Sugars ( as inverted sugars ) .50% Crude
Protein (minimum) ……… 2% Mineral matter (max)………..
20% Other
carbohidrates (max) …. 23% Detailed
Analysis Dry Matter (minimum) ……….
95% Calcium
(max) ………………. 7% Phosphorus
(min) ……………. 0.1% Iron (max ) …………………..
0.1% Magnesium
(max) …………… 2.5% Sodium
(max) ………………. 1% Potassium
(max) …………….. 8% Contains microelements Co, Cu, Mn, Zn and Iodine. Nice
source of Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium and Iron. jose
