From extracting active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from plant materials to formulating various dosage forms, ethanol’s exceptional solubility and low toxicity make it an indispensable tool.

Molasses, a syrup-like byproduct of sugar production, is obtained by boiling sugarcane or sugar beets. Its history spans centuries, and it is produced globally in sugar mills and refineries. With its unique flavor, molasses finds diverse uses in the food industry and beyond.

Molasses-produced ethanol offers renewable energy, reduced emissions, economic benefits, and utilizes a byproduct. Blending with gasoline improves engine performance, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient fuel source.

Ethanol, specifically in the form of pharmaceutical-grade ethanol with a purity of 99.9%, plays a crucial role in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Here is a summary of its uses in this industry:
