Grape
molasses
Grape molasses
produced by concentration of the wort obtained from
the syrup of grape
(Vitis vinifera)
is
a traditional food
of
our country. Scientific
studies
have
revealed
that consumption of grape
delays
the emergence of many diseases from cardiovascular
diseases
to
high cholesterol (Yang & Xiao, 2013). Grape
molasses is rich in simple carbohydrates
which enter
to
blood fast and meet the energy needs quickly. In
addition to fruit sugars grape molasses contain
minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium,
phosphorus and iron as well as phenolic substances
and is a valuable food because it provides energy
and has positive effects on human health (Karababa &
Develi Işıklı, 2005).
