Due to its effects on health, Abies Nordmanniana species of the G & ouml;knar tree, belongs to the Pinaceae family and grows in Kastamonu Ilgaz mountains, has been widely used by the local people in recent years. The some physical and chemical analyzes of molasses and syrups obtained from the cones of the local abies tree were examined in this study. For this purpose, physical and chemical analyzes such as color, pH, acidity and electrical conductivity of molasses and syrups produced by traditional methods were performed. Chemical characterization analyzes were also performed with the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) method, and the components detected in the device's library were interpreted. It was observed that new bands appeared with the addition of sugars in the 1200-900 cm( -1) wavelength range of the spectrums. It was determined that the production of beet sugar added fir cone molasses by using the method of boiling at low temperature for a long time prevented the formation of polyacrylamide. In the fir cone syrup, 5-hydroxymethylfurufural (5-HMF) was not detected according to the result of the structural analysis, and polyacrylamide structures were determined with the realization of production at high temperature. When the molasses and syrup samples were compared among themselves, the effect of production method, production temperature and time in the changes of the compenents were revealed for the first time in this study.
