INTRODUCTION

Honey is a supersaturated solution of sugar made by
bees. Honeybees (Apis mellifera) collect a liquid secretion from
flowers, called nectar, and take this back to their hives. At the
hive, honeybees add enzymes to the nectar, and place it in wax
cells where it ripens to form honey.Honey is gathered by honey
bees from two different sources: nectar orhoneydew. Nectar is the
most common source of honey worldwide, while honeydew is only
common in European countries such as Greece and Austria
(Bodganov, 2010b). Nectar is a sugar solution of varying
concentration secreted by flower nectary.The sugar composition in
nectar, with principal sugars being frucrose, glucose and sucrose, is
typical from the plant species. Most nectar consists mainly of fructose
6
and glucose. Its sugar concentration actualy depends on the different
climatic factors such as temperature, soil, humidity and season.
Literature Review
1. Moisture –
7
Since honey is hygroscopic, if it is not in a sealed container, it
will attractmoisture from the air.
Low water content is desirable because honey may begin to
ferment and lose its fresh quality if the water-in-honey is greater
than 20%. Unpasteurized honey ferments because it contains
wild yeast.
2. Specific Gravity -
Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the
density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of
the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance
for the same given volume.
The average Specific garvity of honey is 1.425
3. Acidity -
The acids of honey contribute towards its stability against
micro-organisms and its flavour. Gluconic acid, the product of
an enzyme catalysed reaction of glucose oxidase on glucose of
honey, is the predominant acid. The acid composition of honey
has been reviewed by Thawley (1969)and White (1978).
4. Sucrose -
The apparent reducing sugars as well as the apparent sucrose
content are measured by theFehling method. The ”apparent
reducing sugars” correspond roughly to the sum of the main
honey sugars fructose and glucose and some minor reducing
disaccharides, mainly maltose. The”apparent sucrose” is
calculated as the difference in apparent reducing sugars before
and after sucrose hydrolysis. These methods are very time
consuming and although they have been used for almost 100
8
years, their precision has not been tested collaboratively. They
do not satisfactorily characterise honey quality and origin (see
next section) and for this reason have been replaced by
specific chromatographic methods.
5. Glucose -
Most of the honey sample contains nearly 80 to 85 gram of
Carbohydrates per 100 gram of serving.Because of
Carbohydrates, Honey contains nearly 80 gram of sugar, in that
sugar Glucose, Fructose, Galactose, Maltose and Sucrose.
Their are nearly 30 to 35 gram of glucose present in honey
depending on the type of honey.The glucose content in honey
sample is determined by Willstater iodometric method.
6. Minerals -
There are number of minerals present in honey such as
Calcium, Copper, Iron, Sodium, Potassium, Fluoride etc. In this
work i determined Sodiumcontent using Flame photometry. The
average content of Sodium per hundred gram of honey sample
is 4mg according to the type and quality of honey.
Experimental Procedures -
1. Specific Gravity -

Requirements -
Procedure -
Clean and thoroughly dry the sp. gravity bottle and weigh. Fill it
upto the mark with freshly boiled and cooled distilled water
maintained at 27 ± 1 0C and weigh. Remove the water, dry the
bottle again and fill it with honey sample maintained at the
same temperature. Weigh the bottle again.
Calculation -
= (26.31-15.18)÷(25.19-15.18)

Specific gravity = (27.09-15.18)÷(25.19-15.18)
2. Moisture content -
Requirements -
Procedure -
11
Moisture content in honey was determined by weighing honey in a
pocelain crucible. The crucible with sample is heated in an electrical
oven for about 4 hours in 100 Celcius. Then it will cool in decicator
and weighing again.
Calculation -
% Moisture = (0.67÷5)×100
% Moisture = 13.4%
% Moisture = (0.70÷5)×100
% Moisture = 14%
% Moisture = (0.81÷5)×100
% Moisture = 16.2%
% Moisture = (0.74÷5)×100
% Moisture = 14.8%
