Carb
Food for yeast

Molasses
Thick Syrup used as a “Sweetener”

Add and interferent during the boiling procedure
interferent
Interferes with formation of sugar crystals
EX: Acid (lemon juice, vinegar, cream of tartar, etc.) or glucose (corn syrup, honey, etc)
Hygroscopic
Ingredients that attract water from the air on humid days and lose water through evaporation mote slowly than granulated sugar
