Blackstrap molasses is a sweetener obtained from the processing of raw sugar beets, sugarcane, pomegranate, dates, carob, and sorghum. It is low in calories and contains a high amount of calcium, potassium, selenium, magnesium, and niacin as compared to regular molasses. It aids in preventing blood clotting, relieving menstrual cramps, maintaining the health of uterine muscles, and relieving premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms. It also assists in combatting stress and anxiety, controlling mood, and preventing pain, depression, and fatigue. Presently, it is employed in the food and beverage (F&B) industry to provide moisture and tenderness to baked goods and increase their shelf life.
A surge in the consumption of ready-to-eat (RTE) products due to hectic lifestyles, inflating disposable incomes, and the increasing health consciousness among individuals represents one of the primary factors impelling the market growth. Blackstrap molasses is utilized as a spread or topping on toast, oatmeal, and porridges. It also finds application in the preparation of marinades, barbeque sauces, and glazes, and intensifies richness, lowers the acidic taste, and enhances the nutrition value of the coffee. Moreover, it has a low glycemic index and contains a high level of chromium, which increases glucose tolerance and naturally slows the metabolism of carbohydrates, thereby resulting in less insulin production. This, in confluence with the growing prevalence of diabetes, is catalyzing the demand for blackstrap molasses worldwide to stabilize blood sugar levels. Furthermore, it helps reduce free radicals in the body, which are considered one of the primary causes of cancer. As the risk of developing cancer rises with age, the rising geriatric population and the increasing awareness among individuals about the benefits of consuming blackstrap molasses are creating a positive market outlook.
