The invention provides a method for recovery of sucrose from molasses comprising combining molasses with a methanolic solution whereby there is formed a single liquid phase which retains carbohydrates from said molasses in solution, the solution being super saturated with respect to sucrose, separating non-carbohydrate matter which precipitates, inducing sucrose crystallization by seeding the super-saturated solution with sucrose; and recovering formed sucrose crystals.
