Question

Consider the following statements:
1. Molasses is a by-product of sugar production process.
2. Bagasse obtained in the sugar mills is used as a fuel in the boilers to generate steam for the sugar factories.
3. Sugar can only be produced from sugarcane as the raw material.
Which of these statements are correct?

Accepted Answer

The correct option is A because of the following reasons:

Statement 1 is correct. Molasses is the dark, viscous liquid left over after the crystallization of sugar from sugarcane or sugar beet juice.

Statement 2 is correct. Bagasse is the fibrous residue remaining after crushing sugarcane. It is commonly used as a primary fuel source in sugar mill boilers to produce steam and electricity.

Statement 3 is incorrect. While sugarcane is a major source, sugar is also produced on a large commercial scale from sugar beets. Additionally, it can be derived from other sources like corn, palm, and maple.

Since statements 1 and 2 are true and statement 3 is false, the correct answer is A.
