This research have been done at a small local shop for producing Molasses from
raisin (dry grape) located at Maraba village/Al -tall/, Damascus country side. We used
raisin from dried local grape (famous at Damascus country side) which has a high t
otal
carbohydrates contents (up to 30%). Tow methods for producing Molasses: First one
(traditional) and second one (suggested). The results showed that the total
carbohydrates juice of raisin (Al -jalap) in suggested method was more (39.4, 41.3,
42.09%) than in traditional one (38.8, 40.2, 41.2 %), respectively during extraction
process. The Molasses obtained from suggested method was higher in vitamin C 0.32
100Mg/g) and total carbohydrates (93.17 %) comparing with the traditional method
0.22 (100Mg/g) and (88.14 %), respectively. Percentage of ash by suggested method was
2.29 % and by traditional method was 2.1 % so that reflect the highest mineral (k, Ca,
P, and Fe) in the suggested method.
