The history of condensed molasses solids (CMS) is closely tied to the production and utilization of molasses, a by-product of sugar production. Molasses has been produced for centuries as a result of sugar extraction from sugarcane or sugar beets. Initially, molasses was primarily used as a sweetener and flavouring agent in cooking and baking. As the sugar industry developed and expanded, there was a growing need to find uses for the by-products of sugar production, including molasses. One of the methods employed to utilize the by-products of molasses more efficiently was the development of condensed molasses solids.
Today, condensed molasses solids continue to be utilized in a range of industries and applications, contributing to sustainable agriculture practices, waste reduction, and resource efficiency. Ongoing advancements in technology and the growing demand for sustainable solutions are likely to further enhance the utilization and importance of condensed molasses solids in the future.

Condensed Molasses Soluble
Livestock Feed:
CMS can be used as a valuable ingredient in animal feed formulations. It is rich in essential nutrients, such as amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and organic acids. incorporating CMS into livestock diets can enhance overall feed quality and nutritional value. It helps promote healthy growth, improved feed efficiency, and enhanced animal performance. Additionally, the organic acids present in CMS can support gut health and aid in the prevention of certain gastrointestinal diseases.
BioTac's Leap into Spray-Dried Molasses for Superior Animal Feed
At BioTac, we're driven by innovation and a commitment to providing sustainable, high-quality solutions for the agricultural sector. That's why we're thrilled to announce our latest venture: the production of spray-dried molasses for animal feed. This exciting development marks a significant step forward in our mission to enhance animal nutrition and optimize feed efficiency.
​
Why Spray-Dried Molasses?
Molasses, a byproduct of sugar production, is a naturally rich source of energy, essential minerals, and palatability.
However, its traditional liquid form presents several challenges:​​
​
Handling and Storage
Liquid molasses is known for being thick, sticky, and highly viscous, which makes handling it a challenge. Special pumps, pipelines, and storage tanks are typically required to move and store liquid molasses efficiently
Spray drying offers a revolutionary solution to these challenges. By transforming liquid molasses into a fine, free-flowing powder, we unlock a multitude of benefits:​​​​​​​
​​​​
Handling and Storage
Spray-dried molasses is a powder, eliminating the need for specialized equipment. Its dry form allows for:
-
Ease of Handling: Spray-dried molasses is non-sticky, can be moved, mixed, and processed with standard equipment.
-
Simpler Storage: Since it’s dry, it doesn't require heated storage tanks or anti-clumping mechanisms, reducing infrastructure costs and maintenance concerns.
​
BioTac's Commitment to Quality and Sustainability
Our spray-drying process is meticulously designed to preserve the nutritional integrity of molasses while adhering to the highest quality standards. We utilize state-of-the-art equipment and employ rigorous quality control measures to ensure that our spray-dried molasses meets the specific needs of our customers.
Furthermore, we are committed to sustainable practices throughout our operations. By utilizing a byproduct of sugar production, we contribute to minimizing waste and maximizing resource utilization. We are also exploring and implementing energy-efficient spray-drying technologies to reduce our environmental footprint.
Benefits for Animal Producers
BioTac's spray-dried molasses offers numerous advantages for animal producers:
-
Improved Palatability: The natural sweetness of molasses enhances feed palatability, encouraging consumption and improving feed intake.
-
Increased Energy Intake: The high energy content of molasses provides a readily available source of energy for livestock, supporting growth, performance, and milk production.
-
Enhanced Nutrient Utilization: Spray-dried molasses improves the digestibility and absorption of other feed ingredients, optimizing nutrient utilization.
-
Dust Control: The powdered form helps to reduce dust in feed, improving air quality and animal health.
-
Consistent Feed Formulation: The uniform composition of spray-dried molasses ensures consistent nutrient delivery, leading to predictable animal performance.
