Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
					 General Provisions: All molasses products and liquid mixtures containing
					 molasses products, including special mixes, shall be labeled to show the
					 minimum percentage of total sugars expressed as invert sugar, and the maximum
					 percent of moisture. In addition, liquid mixtures containing molasses products
					 shall be labeled to show minimum percent of crude protein and the maximum
					 percent of ash. All guarantees shall apply to the entire mixture.
(b) Beet Molasses is a by-product of the
					 manufacture of sucrose from sugar beets. It shall contain not less than 48.0
					 percent total sugars expressed as invert sugar and its density determined by
					 double dilution shall be not less than 79.5 degrees Brix. The minimum percent
					 of total sugars expressed as invert sugar and the maximum percent of moisture
					 shall be stated.
(c) Citrus
					 Molasses is the partially dehydrated juices obtained from the manufacture of
					 dried citrus pulp. It shall contain not less than 45.0 percent total sugars
					 expressed as invert sugar and its density determined by double dilution shall
					 be not less than 71.0 degrees Brix. The minimum percent of total sugars
					 expressed as invert sugar and the maximum percent of moisture shall be stated.
					 Any citrus molasses product which does not meet the above specifications shall
					 be called citrus peel liquor and shall be labeled to show maximum moisture,
					 minimum total sugars expressed as invert sugar and minimum Brix.
(d) Cane Molasses is a by-product of the
					 manufacture or refining of sucrose from sugar cane. It shall contain not less
					 than 43.0 percent total sugars expressed as invert sugar. If its moisture
					 content exceeds 27.0 percent, its density determined by double dilution shall
					 not be less than 79.5 Brix.
(e)
					 Starch Molasses is a by-product of the manufacture of dextrose from starch
					 derived from corn or grain sorghums in which the starch is hydrolyzed by use of
					 enzymes and/or acid. It contains not less than 43.0 percent reducing sugars
					 expressed as dextrose and not less than 50.0 percent total sugars expressed as
					 dextrose. It shall contain not less than 73.0 percent total solids. The minimum
					 percent of total sugars expressed as dextrose, and the maximum percent of
					 moisture shall be stated.
(f)
					 Hemicellulose Extract is a by-product of the manufacture of pressed wood. It is
					 the concentrated soluble material obtained from the treatment of wood at
					 elevated temperature and pressure without the use of acids, alkalies, or salts.
					 It contains pentose and hexose sugars, and other carbohydrates. The minimum
					 percent of total sugars expressed as invert sugar and the maximum percent of
					 moisture shall be stated.
(g)
					 Concentrated Separator By-Product (CSB) is obtained as a by-product of the
					 recovery of sucrose from beet molasses by utilization of molecular exclusion
					 chromatography. The minimum percent of total sugars expressed as invert sugar
					 and the maximum percent of moisture shall be stated.
(h) Concentrated Steffen Filtrate (CSF) is
					 obtained as a by-product of the recovery of sucrose from beet molasses by
					 utilization of the Steffen process (precipitation with calcium
					 oxide).
