Molasses,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=molasses Definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary )〕 or black treacle (British, for human consumption; known as molasses otherwise), is a viscous by-product of the refining of sugarcane or sugar beets into sugar. The word comes from the Proto-Indo-European *mélid". Cognates include Ancient Greek μέλι (méli) (honey), Latin mel, Portuguese ''melaço''.〔("Molasses" ) at Dictionary.com〕 Molasses varies by amount of sugar and method of extraction, and age of plant. Sweet sorghum syrup may be colloquially called "sorghum molasses" in the American South. ==Cane molasses== Cane molasses is a common ingredient in baking and cooking.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cooking with Molasses - Brer Rabbit Molasses Recipes - Easy Baking Recipes )〕 To make molasses, sugar cane is harvested and stripped of leaves. Often the fields of cane are set on fire to burn off the leaves and drive out the snakes that seem to enjoy this habitat. Its juice is extracted usually by cutting, crushing or mashing. The juice is boiled to concentrate it, promoting sugar crystallization. The result of this first boiling is called "first syrup", and it has the highest sugar content. First syrup is usually referred to in the Southern states of the US as "cane syrup", as opposed to molasses. "Second molasses" is created from a second boiling and sugar extraction, and has a slight bitter taste. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「molasses」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
