Annual Yield of Molasses
« on: April 19, 2012, 12:57:23 AM »
We worked out that the yield of sugar from cane is 4860g/m^2 per year
But then realised that what we need is grams of molasses produced per m^2 per year.
How do we work this out?/ Find this out?

Thanks :)

I'd start with researching how much molasses is produced from every gram of sugar, then it's just conversion after that.

We tried researching, but there isnt much around about the molasses production. Its more about the sugar and cane production.
We did find that 1 1/3 cups of molasses is equivalent to 1 cup of sugar. Not sure if this is correct though.

See if this will help you - it gives a breakdown of products from sugar sources
