Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of molasses refining, and specifically relates to refined molasses and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Molasses, also known as syrup or treacle, is a viscous, dark brown, semi-fluid substance that contains a large amount of fermentable sugar (mainly sucrose). It is a good fermentation raw material and can be used as a substrate or base material for fermentation products such as yeast, monosodium glutamate, and organic acids. It can also be used as a raw material for certain foods and animal feed. Depending on the source, molasses can be divided into sugarcane molasses, beet molasses, citrus molasses, and corn molasses.

[0003] Molasses is rarely used in animal husbandry, mainly because its high viscosity makes it difficult to mix feed, and the polysaccharides it contains need to be broken down into reducing sugars during digestion before livestock and poultry can absorb them, which increases the digestive burden. In addition, the crude protein in molasses is mainly non-protein nitrogen, which has a low biological value, and it contains more minerals, especially potassium, magnesium, sodium, chlorine, etc., which may cause diarrhea in livestock and poultry. These factors have jointly limited the application of molasses in animal husbandry production. Summary of the invention

[0040] On the basis of being in accordance with the common sense in the art, the above-mentioned preferred conditions can be arbitrarily combined to obtain the preferred embodiments of the present invention.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0042] 1. The present invention degrades polysaccharides into reducing monosaccharides that are easy for animals to digest and absorb by fermenting bacteria. This fermentation process not only promotes the animal's nutrient absorption, but also effectively removes the salt in the sugarcane molasses by consuming the excess salt in the molasses. It can also avoid the problem of diarrhea in the animals caused by excessive sodium, magnesium and potassium ions in the sugarcane molasses.

[0043] 2. After fermentation and refining, the content of polysaccharides, metal ions and colloidal substances in molasses is significantly reduced, and these components are the main reasons for the viscosity of molasses. At the same time, this process can also effectively remove the non-protein nitrogen content in crude protein. In some preferred embodiments, the refined molasses contains 60-75wt% reducing sugars, 4.8-6.7wt% crude protein, 0.5-1.5wt% salt, and 1.76-2.08wt% ash; in some preferred embodiments, the refined molasses contains 62-74wt% reducing sugars, 5.2-6.7wt% crude protein, and 0.5-1.38wt% salt; the proportion adjustment of these components helps to improve the nutritional value and application effect of molasses.

[0044] 3. The refined molasses fermentation method of the present invention is capable of converting the originally viscous sugarcane molasses, which is characterized by high water content, high polysaccharide, salt and ash content, into a solid granular product. This conversion significantly simplifies the transportation and storage process of molasses and effectively solves the problem of molasses deterioration that may occur during these processes. By reducing the water content and lowering the polysaccharide, salt and ash content, the physical state of the molasses is improved, thereby improving its stability during storage and transportation.

[0045] 4. The refined molasses of the present invention can be used as a substitute for feed additives and added to the diet of animals due to its sweet smell and strong appetizing property. In addition, the feeding of refined molasses can also bring obvious health benefits to animals with intestinal dysplasia or animals that have not yet fully recovered from illness. By providing nutrients that are easily digestible and absorbable, refined molasses helps the intestinal health and recovery of these animals. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
