Honey quality and international regulatory standards: review by the International Honey Commission

Abstract: International honey standards are specified in a European Honey Directive and in the Codex Alimentarius Standard for Honey, both of which are presently under revision. In this article, present knowledge on the different quality criteria is reviewed. The standard drafts include standards and methods for the determination of the following quality factors: moisture, ash, acidity, HMF, apparent reducing sugars, apparent sucrose, diastase activity and water-insoluble matter. International honey standards for fructo… Show more

“…pH The pH values of all the honey samples ranged from 3.3 to 3.7 (Table 2) and these agreed with findings of Bogdanov (1999) and CAC (1998) which specified a pH range of 3.42 to 6.10. The values obtained were significantly different (P≤0.05) with honey harvested using traditional method having higher values.…”

“…Values below 180 mg/100 g may indicate the none ripeness of a honey sample and/or adulteration (Bogdanov et al., 1999). None of the analyzed samples presented less amount with the maximum proline content found in hairy fleabane sample (S7) (720.87 ± 5.18 mg/kg) coming from Qalqilya.…”

“…Tal é a relevância deste parâ-metro que o INTERNATIONAL TRADE FORUM [36] considerou a cor como uma das características do mel que tem particular importância no mercado internacional. A cor do mel está correlacionada com a sua origem floral, o processamento e armazenamento, fatores climá-ticos durante o fluxo do néctar, a temperatura na qual o mel amadurece na colméia [50] e o conteúdo de minerais presentes, que muitas vezes são expressos como cinzas [8,10,39,45,58].…”

“…A condutividade elétrica pode ser utilizada como método suplementar na determinação da origem botâ-nica do mel [1] e tem correlação com o conteúdo de cinzas, pH, acidez, sais minerais, além das proteínas e outras substâncias presentes no mel [10,25,55]. For the analysis of the main components, it can be verified that the characters that had more influenced in the groupings of the honey samples were the electric conductivity and amount of K, in axle X and the formol index and humidity, in axle Y.…”
