Supposedly to remove the oxygen from the iron oxide. The only acid I found
listed was pyrrolidone carboxylic acid.
Not sure what the chelating agent would be in molasses:
......"The total sugar content in molasses is approximately 50 %. Minor
carbohydrates are glucose, fructose, raffinose and some other oligo- or
polysaccharides. Their concentration is below 1 % and depends to a
significant extent on the manufacturing process. Some of the minerals found
in molasses are potassium followed by sodium, calcium and magnesium. Their
content depends mainly on soil type and water availability. Additionally,
the calcium and sodium content is influenced by processing practices. About
20 % of the total mass consists of non-sucrose organic matter, in particular
of non-protein nitrogen (NPN) containing substances, such as betaine. In
addition molasses contains free and bound amino acids and pryrrolidone
carboxylic acid (a conversion product of glutamine). In the manufacturing
process most of the amino acids undergo changes so that less than the
amounts expected from beet roots are found in molasses"....snip
