“…In addition, antioxidants may help maintain healthy eyes and perhaps reduce the chance of developing some cancers [7]. It has been noted that honey is a powerful immune system booster due to its high levels of amino acids, vitamin B6, thiamine, niacin, riboflavin, and pantothenic acid; however, the specific amounts depend on the honey's floral origin and quality [8]. Significant levels of other minerals, including calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, and manganese, are also present in honey [9].…”

Natural honey is one of the most significant foods produced and consumed globally, it has pleasing sensory characteristics such a light colour, as well as a recognizable flavor and aroma. In addition, natural honey has been associated with potential biological properties since it contains organic acids, sugars, minerals, enzymes, phenolic, volatile compounds, methylglyoxal, amino acids, and vitamins. All of these features make this viscous substance extremely desirable by consumers for health and wellness purposes and likewise by manufacturing industries for production purposes thus increasing its market value. Since honey plays a vital role in balancing human nutrition being a better alternative to sugar, and further serves as a natural raw material in most industrial products the world over, its socio-economic importance to human development and industrial output cannot be overemphasized. The income generating and job creating capacity of the honey industry has been beneficial both to corporate organizations and various governments of the world. It is therefore the aim of this study to provide information on the quality, composition, health effects and economics of this high value viscous liquid.

“…It has been pointed out that the high levels of amino acids, vitamin B6, thiamine, niacin, riboflavin, and pantothenic acid present in honey make it an effective immune system booster, however the precise amounts for this action depend on both the floral origin and quality of the honey (Hrubša et al, 2022). Honey also contains significant amounts of other minerals, such as calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and zinc (Ani et al, 2020). The iron, copper, and manganese concentrations in this substance are primarily responsible for its extraordinary ability to increase hemoglobin production in the body (Ani et al, 2020).…”

One of the most important foods produced and consumed worldwide is natural honey. This substance features nice sensory qualities such as a light hue as well as a familiar scent and flavor. It also contains organic acids, sugars, minerals, enzymes, phenolic and volatile chemicals, methylglyoxal, amino acids, vitamins etcetera which have been linked to potential biological activities. All of these features make this viscous substance extremely desirable by consumers thus raising its market value. Natural honey is however prone to contamination upon improper storage so that its natural quality and authenticity can be jeopardized. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to provide updates to the literature available on the physicochemical, sensory features, content, economic value, medicinal benefits, contamination, originality, and adulteration of natural honey. With this context, we hope to provide data that can help guide future honey study.
