Assessment of physico-chemical indices of different types of honey

Abstract

The aim of the research is to study the quality of different types of honey according to organoleptic and physico-chemical indices. The dry matter in honey consists of sugars which constitute invert sugar and sucrose. The invert sugar content in honey must be a minimum of 70% and the maximum sucrose content 10% according to the regulatory requirements. Thus, the honey samples studied showed a sucrose content of 1.0% in polyfloral honey, 2.2% in acacia honey and 0.7% in lime honey. These values are within the limits of the regulatory requirements for honey.
