Composition criteria for honey and type of honey
Technical parameters for the composition of honey are set in Council Directive 2001/110/EC. The directive also lists the main types of honey according to origin and mode of production.
Our analysis package for determining the composition of honey includes the following parameters:
Sugars (fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose, melezitose), LC method
Moisture content, refractometric method
Water-insoluble content, gravimetric method
Electrical conductivity
Free acid, titrimetric method
Diastase activity, enzymatic method
Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), LC method
The analysis can be supplemented with the following determinations to characterize the type of honey:
Pollen analysis using microscopy
Sensory analysis
