Molasses.
a.
Pertaining to, or designating, an acid obtained from molasses or glucose, and probably identical with saccharic acid. See Saccharic.
n.
Molasses; sometimes, specifically, the molasses which drains from the sugar-refining molds, and which is also called sugarhouse molasses.
n.
A soft Tertiary sandstone; -- applied to a rock occurring in Switzerland. See Chart of Geology.
n.
The thick, brown or dark colored, viscid, uncrystallizable sirup which drains from sugar, in the process of manufacture; any thick, viscid, sweet sirup made from vegetable juice or sap, as of the sorghum or maple. See Treacle.
n.
The part of a sugarhouse where the molasses is drained off from the sugar.
n.
A cylinder coated with a composition made principally of glue and molassess, with which forms of type are inked previously to taking an impression from them.
n.
A kind of intoxicating liquor distilled from cane juice, or from the scummings of the boiled juice, or from treacle or molasses, or from the lees of former distillations. Also, sometimes used colloquially as a generic or a collective name for intoxicating liquor.

n.
A mixture of sugar and molasses; crude sugar as it comes from the pans without being drained.
a.
Pertaining to, or of the nature of, unrefined or raw sugar, obtained from the juice of the sugar cane by evaporating and draining off the molasses. Muscovado sugar contains impurities which render it dark colored and moist.

n.
The act, process or method of determining the amount and kind of sugar present in sirup, molasses, and the like, especially by the employment of polarizing apparatus.
