Does molasses contain corn?

Pure molasses does not contain corn syrup. Molasses is a by-product of refining sugar beets or sugarcane into sugar. Corn syrup is made from corn.

How sweet is molasses?

yes, molasses is very sweet but depends you can use it in different plates ....would actually taste sweeter if you mix it with sour plates

What happens to an egg when you put it in molasses?

Backing up for a second, you have to know what happens to an egg in tap water. Tap water is less dense than an egg; therefore, the egg will sink.

Then you have to take a look at soda water. Soda water is tap water with a gas (CO2) dissolved in it. Water will not naturally be carbonated unless the two substances are put under pressure (excluding fermentation), thereby forcing the gas to be dissolved in the water. If the soda is not under pressure, the carbon dioxide will naturally "undissolve" from the water. Since the carbon dioxide is also less dense than the water, it will "undissolve" from the water and float out of the container.

In addition, the overall density of the soda water will change due to the added CO2, although it may not change much. Really, it depends on the concentration of the CO2 (how carbonated it is), which determines the volume. Density is defined as mass divided by volume. The CO2 is being added to the water and is less dense, so the density will already be decreasing. But the CO2 also adds volume to the solution, which also deceases the density (due to CO2's relative zero mass). The most we can say is that soda water is less dense than regular water, but since the degree of carbonation is not known, it is unsure how less dense it is.

So you put the egg in. What happens? Well, we know that an egg will sink in tap water because the tap water isn't dense enough. We also know that the soda water is going to be slightly less dense than the water. So the egg is going to have to sink.

But this isn't the end of the story. Although the egg looks smooth, its surface is in fact porous enough for the bubbles to lodge into. Depending on the carbonation and amount of bubbles that form, the bubbles could attach to the shell of the egg. Because the bubbles are "undissolving" and are less dense than water, they are already on their way to the surface. Moreover, when the bubbles lodge onto the egg, the egg and bubbles overall volume will increase without the mass changing (because of CO2's relative no mass). The overall volume increases without the mass increasing, so the egg will become less dense. This, and the conjunction of the buoyancy caused by rising bubbles, could in fact lift the egg back to the top of the water. Again, this would have to be determined by the amount of carbonation. If the egg does return to the surface, some bubbles may dislodge from the egg or burst, in which the opposite process may happen and the egg will sink again. This process may repeat itself many times.

What was the purpose of the molasses act in 1733?

Leading up the the molasses act of 1733, there were two rivaling trade companies that battled for America's business: the French West Indies and the British West Indies. Since Britain maintained control over America at the time, the British Parliament instituted the Molasses Act of 1733 over America so all molasses and sugar products that were not manufactured by Britain would be taxed 6 pence per gallon. Therefore, people wouldn't buy molasses from the French Indies because it would be more expensive, so they would buy it from the British Indies & the British would be more successful.

Where were molasses cookies made?

Back in the old county ther was a colony of moles living in the hill country just east of Riverside. Each Spring the momma mole would assert her right to be the first to smell the fresh air of spring. One year after a long cold winter she poped her head out to smell the fresh air of Spring and it smelled so wonderful. Then Poppa mole squeezed up next to her to get a breath of the fresh air. He said wow, that smells so wonderful. Down below baby mole said what's going on up there. And he climbed up to get a breath of the spring air, but the just wasn't any room for him to get past momma mile and Pappa mole. He said I don't know what you smell up there, all I smell is mole asses down here. Tha is why every spring we make Mole Asses Cookies.

Which act placed tax on Molasses?

The Molasses Act of 1733 The trouble was how it would effect the making of Rum.

Why is Molasses denser than water?

Because molasses is so thick when you go to spill it, it will spill very slowly. unlike water where if you turn it over it will dump out very quickly if the molass es got out very slow it has more viscosity.

What does one gallon of molasses weigh?

approximately 12 lbs. http://www.maltproducts.com/products.molasses.html

How can you tell if molasses has spoiled?

Yes, molasses as does all liquid sugars can crystalize. It can in some instances become moldy.

^although this is true, there is one exception. Honey is a liquid sugar but it does not spoil

How many gallons are in a ton of molasses?

What is the difference between black strap molasses and high strap molasses?

Regular molasses is refined more. I believe blackstrap has more sulfur content which gives it a stonger taste.

Is molasses an organic or inorganic substance?

Molasses is organic because it is made up of sugars, which makes it a carbohydrate.

What does molasses smell like?

Sweet, with a hint of spice. Rather like brown sugar, or honey.

How many calories in one teaspoon of Molasses sugar?

What happen to the pepperidge Molasses cookies?

This was the best toasting bread ever! I can still remember the flavor and texture. About 15-20 years ago my Mom and I wrote Pepperage Farms and it was a financial decision to stop producing this wonderful corn molasses bread. What a mistake! TRIED TO MAKE IT MYSELF BUT FAILLED. I hope they bring it back. It is sure to be a big hit. Hope they bring it back while the few of us left still remember it.

PLEASE BRING IT BACK.

Why doesn't mold grow on bread with molasses?

Sourdough bread's mild level of acidity will discourage the growth of most mold species. We leave my sourdough loaves out of the refrigerator and the loaves will get eaten up in a week but they never grow mold.
