A composition for both de-icing and inhibiting formation of ice and snow that uses as its predominant ingredient desugared, sugar beet molasses which has been treated with alkali to increase its pH to at least 11, followed by holding for a time sufficient to degrade the carbohydrates and protein of the desugared, sugar beet molasses, and then the pH is lowered by acid addition to at least 10. These steps, in this sequence, substantially and surprisingly increase melt value.
