Molasses, from the Latin word melaceres, meaning honey-like, is a thick dark syrup that is a byproduct of sugar refining. It results when sugar is crystallized out of sugar cane or sugar beet juice. SugarCane Molasses is a viscous, dark and sugar-rich by-product of sugar extraction from the sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.). Saccharum officinarum is a large, strong-growing species of grass in the genus Saccharum. Its stout stalks are rich in sucrose, a simple sugar which accumulates in the stalk internodes. It is a major feed ingredient, used as an energy source and as a binder in compound feeds.
There are five types of molasses: blackstrap, light, dark (or medium), treacle, and sorghum (which is technically not a molasses). All varieties can contain sulphur depending on the specific refining process used, but unsulphured products, which are lighter in color and smoother in flavor, are available.

Key Difference: Sugar is the generalized name for sweet-flavored food substances. Molasses is a by-product of the sugar production process; be it of sugarcane fiber, beets or grapes. Sugar is the generalized name for sweet-flavored food substances.
The lighter grades of molasses made from sugarcane are edible and are used in baking and candy-making and to make rum. Blackstrap and other low grades of cane molasses are used in mixed animal feed and in the industrial production of vinegar, citric acid, and other products.
Molasses is the opposite of sugarcane juice in flavour: thick, rich and dark with a liquorice-like character. The resulting spirit is what most people think of rum – sweet and ‘rummy’ but more generally less punchy than agricole. However, when aged these can flourish into complex beasts, combining rich flavour from casks with notes hidden in the spirit.
Bottom Line: Molasses is a product of the sugar-making process, and it comes from sugar cane or sugar beets.
It is known that the purity of final molasses of cane is in the range 28-38, while that of beet is always 55-65. In cane, it is sucrose plus reducing sugar and also amounts to about 55. It is therefore clear that the reducing-sugar content is one of the factors, determining exhaustibility.
Sulfur dioxide slightly alters the molasses' flavor, so if you're looking for something richer (or just want to stay away from preservatives), go for the unsulphured stuff. Fully matured sugarcane yields more raw material, making unsulphured molasses thicker and sweeter.
