Physico-Chemical Analysis of Some Commercial Honey Samples from Telangana
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Nutrition - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The present work encompasses a critical physico-chemical characterization of 5 commercial honey samples available in India. The analysis includes moisture content, pH, electrical conductivity, acidity, total sugars, reducing and non-reducing sugars. The absolute pollen count of the honey samples was also determined and graded. The objective was to compare the honey samples based on sensorial, physical and chemical parameters. Four commercially available honey samples were obtained from the local market of Hyderabad, Telangana State and one from Bangalore, Karnataka State India. These constitute the principle material of the present study. Of the 5 samples, four - Lio, Apo, Dab & Fet are available throughout the country while 1 sample - Pra (Figure 1a) is exclusive to Bangalore.
