Fake Honey Analysis

What is fake honey, how to tell? What Are Fake Honey Tests?

Honey is a very important nutrient for human health that enters almost every home in the world and in our country. Honey, which is preferred in terms of nutritional value, is among the foods most exposed to imitation and adulteration. We have often heard the concept of fake honey.

Fake honey is generally undetectable at first sight. However, with laboratory studies, information can be obtained both about the nutritional value and quality of honey and about its originality. Honey contains 20% water, carbohydrates, mineral substances, amino acids, enzymes and vitamins as nutritional content. Within the scope of the Honey Communiqué, there are some limits for the substances in honey. Many tests and analyzes are performed to classify honey and to comment on its quality.
