The aim of this paper was to examine the possibility of tea fungus fermentation on molasses as a source of carbon, instead of pure sucrose. Molasses is a byproduct of sugar manufacturing, which is very rich energetically and contains maximum of 50% of sucrose. Fermentation course is monitored by measuring pH, vitamin C content, reducing sugars content, organic acids (total and volatile) content and alcohol. It was concluded that metabolic activities of tea fungus on molasses and on pure sucrose are very similar.
