Abstract
Sorghum stem syrup (molasses) is a by-product of sweet sorghum juice concentration widely used in food, feed, and fermentation industries due to its high sugar content and rich nutritional composition. The present study aims to analyze the chemical composition and nutritional value of sorghum stem molasses based on literature data and model parameters. The results show that the syrup contains 68–75% total soluble solids (°Brix), 55–65% total sugars (mainly sucrose, glucose, and fructose), 2.5–4.0% crude protein, 5–8% ash, 0.2–0.4% fat, and a pH value of 5.0–5.8. It is also rich in minerals (Ca, K, Mg, Fe) and vitamins (B-complex and carotenoids), making it a valuable nutrient source for both human and animal nutrition.
