Molasses is what it is like to make it yourself

Molasses is a liquid of the syrup type, which is formed during the production of sugar. Translated from French means molasses of black color. It has a dark brown color and a noticeable specific smell. Still it is called molasses fodder. In some countries, for example, in Canada and the United States, molasses is used in the preparation of culinary dishes. It is very popular when used as a syrup. Contains many useful elements and vitamins that distinguish it among other sweeteners. Vegetarians like molasses for being a plant source of calcium. In Europe and Russia, black molasses is used in agriculture for animal feeding.

Methods of molasses application

Molasses is a food from carbohydrates. In its composition more than 60% of carbohydrates and only 20-25% of water. Also included in the composition is a small number of compounds with nitrogen. With its help all sorts of concentrated and coarser types of food are cured. Of course, molasses are used in the production of mixed fodders. When the granulation of animal feed occurs, it is used as a substance for the ligament. In the production of carbon black (soot granulated), molasses was also used at one time.

Molasses has a value for the production of biological technologies. When fermented, it is divided into two types:

1. Aerobic fermentation. With its help, you get lemon, oxalic, gluconic, acetic and fumaric acids.
2. Anaerobic. Obtain this way oil, lactic, propionic acid and ethyl alcohol. People found it useful in the production of high-quality moonshine. And a couple of rice with a great Thai whiskey.

Molasses in fishing

In European countries, fishermen have been using molasses for more than thirty years in their difficult business. It is one of the main additives in anglers. In the fishery industry, it entered only because of its unique composition of chemical elements. Molasses is a bait that affects the behavior of fish in water.

Due to the large content of carbohydrates and amides, it is a very important source of energy for all living creatures. Scientists have proved that in the absence of these substances in the body there will be no processes of energy metabolism and metabolism. In addition, molasses also contains 10% of ash, which is a laxative for fish too. In simpler terms, molasses is a concentrate of energy. Having eaten the lure with molasses, the fish feels an increase in appetite and a surge of energy. Feeding invigorates, while increasing hunger, and ash causes the body to defecate the fish, not letting it get full. Accordingly, there is no saturation, and the feeling of hunger increases. The more the fish eats, the more she wants to eat. When a whole flock of individuals sails for a bait, an insane excitement arises.

The English were the first to think of using molasses as a bait. There is an opinion that thanks to this bait the British fishermen's team leads the championships in float fishing. Their motto is that it is better to go fishing and forget the fishing rod than not to take molasses.

Of course, fishing gear manufacturers use this bait. They use molasses in complementary foods, releasing their products in a dry and liquid form. The product is sought to improve all the time to increase the customer demand for it. It is added with amino acids or multivitamins, flavored, included in the composition of preservatives to extend the shelf life, released in large containers. The meaning of the product itself from these additives does not change too much. Only the price of bait changes. Also in combination with additives, molasses can be used as bait for various species of fish.

One of the important qualities of this bait is the ability to dissolve in both cold and hot water. It can be perfectly used in winter, while fishing in icy water. Many use it for fishing on bream as a main additive. It is very effective for an hour before feeding to mix molasses with lure and leave for an hour. Molasses can be diluted with water or poured into the feed.

Effective bait for fish own hands

You can make molasses bait with your own hands in the form of liquid fillings to create aromatic bombs. In this case, a small piece of foam is placed in the feed pan itself, and it is periodically wetted in molasses. It flows from above, and the sides of the feeder should be closed with a bait. When the sweet syrup hits the feed pan, the food is pushed upward. Outside, it looks like an explosion. The larger the piece of foam rubber, the greater the impact area of the delicious cloud. Breams and roaches really like these special effects.

Of course, the price of molasses is not the lowest. You can try such a bait for fish, which is also added to the feed of horses. Its price is much cheaper than in the fishing industry, but whether the effect is from this, it's hard to say. It costs 500-600 rubles per liter. It can be used in the manufacture of self-igniting boilies.

With a rather high price of molasses for fishing with their own hands - a way out. Many amateur fishermen are looking for an alternative to molasses bait. Some fishermen have replaced it with effervescent vitamins or aspirin tablets. Vitamins are inexpensive, have a different color and smell. The essence of their use is the same as molasses. They put in the food for half of the pill. The trough is lowered into the water, and the vitamins in the water begin to hiss, splash the food to the sides and emit a smell. The advantage of this method is its ease of use.

What can replace molasses?

The secret of success for excellent catch is molasses. What can I do to replace this bait if I can not buy it? Alternative options are beet molasses and maple syrup with the addition of spices, such as coriander or cinnamon. Keep this bait in the fridge to avoid molding. After the molasses were removed from the refrigerator, it needs to warm up at room temperature, so that it is not too thick. There is a need to pour the molasses for a while. To do this, the container into which it will fall should first be greased with lean oil. This simple procedure in the future will help molasses easily and freely flow out of the container. In the refrigerator or open container molasses or molasses can be stored for no more than a year.

Besides beetroot, reed molasses is also popular with experienced anglers. Sugar cane has in its composition two components: sucrose crystals and idiosyncratic molasses films that cover them. Molasses are waste products. The composition of molasses, which is obtained in the production of refined sugar, is from 25 to 40% sucrose. Also molasses contains a sugar reducing in an amount of 12-30% and nitrogen compounds to 0.5%. The amount of nitrogen compounds in molasses from reed is less than in beet. It is necessary to have elements of ash and aconite acid in reed molasses. But, in comparison with beet, in molasses from reed contains more vitamins.

Reed cane is mainly used in the manufacture of alcohol, rum and various solvents, all kinds of acids and glycerin. It is also used to add animals to feed. Less often it is used in fishing. Until recently, this molasses (bait) was a rare raw material in Russian production. Her search can still take some time.
