Abstract
A process for manufacturing a high molecular weight molasses product having improved drying properties, which includes: feeding starting material molasses having a RT value of 8-45% and a color of at least 100,000 ICUMSA units to a membrane filtering plant (apparatus) having an inert membrane having a nominal cut off value of at least 2,000 dalton; and filtering a low molecular weight fraction as a permeate from a high molecular weight fraction as a retentate, and collecting the high molecular weight fraction having a color of at least two times the color of the starting molasses or at least 200,000 ICUMSA units.
