Fresh honey is transparent at room temperature, translucent viscous liquid, the lower temperature can occur crystallization phenomenon, there is a unique color, aroma, taste, there should be no peculiar smell, no dead bees, wax and other impurities.

The main substances adulterated in adulterated honey are: sucrose, artificially converted sugar, caramel, starch, salt, urea, carboxymethylcellulose and so on. Adulterated cane sugar syrup honey, bright color, light yellow, light, syrupy taste, taste of sugar taste; directly mixed with sugar honey, viscosity is small, light color, the bottom of the undissolved sugar particles can be seen. Honey mixed with artificially converted sugar has a small viscosity, sugary flavor and loses the aromatic flavor of honey. Honey mixed with caramel not only has little aroma, but also tastes not sweet. Honey mixed with starch is mostly made by boiling starch or rice broth into a paste and then adding sugar to the honey. This kind of honey is cloudy, honey flavor is thin, diluted with water is still cloudy. Mixed with salt honey, both thin, small viscosity, but also salty, if mixed with salt, but also precipitated sodium chloride crystals. Mixed with urea honey, concentration, thin, sweet and salty taste. Mixed with carboxymethyl cellulose honey, deep yellow color, viscosity, nearly saturated gelatinous solution, there are chunks of brittle material suspended, the bottom of the white gelatinous particles, sweetness is not pure, there is a feeling of glue mouth and tongue and irritating odor.

Honey contains sugar, pollen, protein, amino acids, organic acids, enzymes, hormones and vitamins and other nutrients, is a high-level nutritional tonic.

(2) Concentration and viscosity: high concentration and viscosity. Touch the liquid surface of honey with the head of the chopstick, feel the elasticity is good; pick up the honey, the head of the chopstick and the liquid surface of the honey to form a

thin and long and very tensile silk strip, after the break of the silk quickly shrunk into a bead, indicating that the viscosity of the honey, the concentration of the honey is large, high.

(3) Taste: The flavor is positive. Take a little honey on the tongue to taste, can feel the sweetness and pure aroma.

(4) Water solubility: mix honey with water and leave it for a day without precipitation.

(5) Heating: insert a red-hot wire into the honey and gas will come out.

Characteristics of poor quality honey:

(1)Color: Observed in diffused light, its color is deep and dark, poor transparency.

2)Concentration and viscosity: the concentration and viscosity are small, and dipping it in filter paper will leave traces of water stains

; it can't be picked up and pulled up into long filaments or it can't be retracted into a bead after the filaments are broken.

nine, how to easily identify fake honey?

Fake honey is usually adulterated with water, adulterated with sucrose, caramel or starch substances. The following is the introduction of several easy ways to identify fake honey:

Simple detection method:

Take 1 portion of honey, put it into a glass cup, add 5-6 portions of cold boiled water, dilute and stir, and observe it after 1 day of resting, if there is any sediment, it proves to be fake honey. Another method is to take a small amount of honey, placed on a clean slide, heated with fire, to be evaporated after the water to stop heating, natural cooling and observation, the residual material is soft, it is shown to be pure honey; if the residual material is hard and brittle, it is shown to be adulterated with sucrose honey.

Recognition of starch-adulterated honey:

Take 2 grams of the honey being examined and put it into a test tube, add 20 milliliters of distilled water, heat it up with an alcohol lamp and boil it, then add 2 drops of iodine after it cools down, such as the appearance of blue or green color, which indicates that the honey is adulterated with starch.

Mixed with caramel honey identification:

Take 1 part of the examined honey, add 4 parts of water, mix well, and gradually add alcohol, such as the appearance of white flocculent, suggesting that the honey mixed with caramel; or only turbid and no white flocculent suggests that the honey is not mixed with caramel.

The identification of adulterated cane sugar honey:

The taste of honey adulterated with white or brown sugar and other cane sugar is sweet, but the aftertaste is short and the flavor is poor. From the consistency point of view, with a chopstick inserted into the honey, vertical raised, pure honey in the downstream flow of slow, viscous, there are hanging; mixed with cane sugar honey downstream flow of fast, viscous small, not hanging. Doped cane sugar honey, crystallization plate hard, with a finger twist crystal grain is not easy to twist broken, there is a sense of sand, the crystal grain into the mouth is not easy to dissolve; and pure honey crystal grain is soft, with a hand rubbing the crystal grain without a sense of sand, the crystal grain into the mouth is quickly dissolved.

The identification of watered down honey:

The biggest feature of watered down honey is that it is dilute, so it is easy to scoop it up with a spoon or pour it down; if you use a glass rod or a wooden stick to stir it, you will feel a very small resistance, and you will insert it into the honey and quickly lift it up, and there is very little honey adhering to the stick, and the honey on the stick flows downward faster, and there is no phenomenon of upward retraction of the dripping honey.

Ten, general knowledge of honey

1, how is honey collected?

Honey is honey bees nectar with tongue straw from the source plant flower, nectar glands, bring back to the beehive, from the honey sac nectar spit into the hive, and then through the repeated inhalation of bees spit out the nectar mixed with nectar sacs secreted by the enzyme of the conversion of the nectar stored in the hive. Under the action of the enzyme, the polysaccharide in the nectar is decomposed into glucose and fructose, and the water is reduced to about 20%, and the mature honey is basically formed, so people can use the centrifugal action of the honey shaker to obtain the finished product of the original quality of the honey, and from the food science point of view, the honey belongs to the plant food.

2, honey crystallization is how?

Often people ask: "Why does honey change from a liquid to a viscous or solid state?" We know that honey is the use of centrifugal action from the hive out, so any honey was initially obtained by the beekeeper, are presented as liquid, only with the time and temperature changes gradually changed to viscous state or solid, this is a physical change in honey, is a normal phenomenon, does not affect the quality of the normal consumption of this phenomenon is known as "crystallization "This is a normal phenomenon that does not affect quality and can be consumed normally.

3. What is the difference between raw honey and refined honey?

Primary honey is the original honey obtained by beekeepers under the conditions of collection outside the field. Due to the limitations of field conditions, raw honey has a high content of impurities (bee carcasses, wax residue, plant impurities, etc.), and the state is very unstable. However, the nutrients in raw honey remain more intact and the price is more affordable. Refined honey is the raw material of raw honey, low-temperature heat treatment and other processes, through the concentration, fine filtration, sterilization, broken nuclei obtained after the high concentration of pure mature honey.

4, how to correctly consume and preserve honey?

Honey is a nourishing food for men, women and children, it is best to take 25-50 grams each time, generally do not exceed 100 grams. Otherwise, the human body will not be able to absorb too much nutrition, and may cause mild diarrhea. Consumption, generally available in warm water, can also be mixed into soy milk, milk, rice, but also can be coated food, but avoid high temperature, not more than 60 degrees Celsius is appropriate, otherwise, honey vitamins and enzymes will be destroyed.

Honey is a weak acidic material, can be weak chemical reaction with metal, so keep should use non-metallic containers (such as glass or plastic bucket), honey is easy to absorb moisture in the air and fermentation and deterioration, and therefore must pay attention to sealing, in order to prevent moisture absorption, packaged honey is best placed in a dry, cool and ventilated place, to avoid the heat phase up expansion.

5, notes

Can not be soaked in boiling water, the general temperature of the water at about 40 ℃. Honey below the precipitation, not necessarily a quality problem, but glucose crystallization, is a physical characteristic of honey.
