How to identify whether honey is pure or not 1

How to identify whether honey is pure or not? Here are four ways to help you solve this problem.

1, the shape and taste characteristics of high-quality honey: high-quality honey is in a thick liquid state, and its color is white, light yellow or red. Stir up a little honey with chopsticks, and the honey will flow downwards, and the honey flowing continuously will be folded; Honey mixed with water or containing more water is not easy to pick up. From the perspective of the transparency of honey, the newly produced honey is translucent, while the honey stored more is opaque, with sand grains, pure smell and extremely sweet taste.

2. When sugar is mixed into honey, the sweetness of honey becomes weak and slightly sour, and the crystallization of glucose is not significant, and it can penetrate to the back when dripping on paper. If you take one part of honey, add 4 parts of distilled water, dilute it, and then add a small amount of 95% alcohol, many white flocs will appear in good honey; Honey mixed with white sugar is slightly turbid, and no white floc is produced.

3. When starch or flour is mixed into honey, the honey is turbid. If you take a portion of honey, boil it with low fire, and then drop a little iodine or iodine. If it appears blue, green or red, it is confirmed that there is starch or flour in the honey. If the honey has completely crystallized, you can use a smooth thick iron bar, burn it red, insert it into the honey, pause for a moment, and take it out. If there are attachments on the iron bar, it proves that the honey is adulterated.

4. Judging from the crystal shape of honey, the crystal grains of honey have poor transparency, and the crystal layer is soft. If you slowly twist and push the crystal grains with your fingers, there is no sense of sand grains, and the crystal grains will dissolve quickly in your mouth. Honey mixed with sucrose has transparent crystal grains, hard crystal layer, and it is not easy to be crushed by twisting and pushing the crystal grains with your fingers, and it is not easy to dissolve in your mouth, and it has a sense of sand. Artificial honey is made by adding chemicals such as sulfuric acid, soda ash, hydrochloric acid and tartaric acid into white sugar water, maltose or waste sugar water from a sugar mill. The characteristics of all kinds of artificial honey: only the taste of sugar, no taste of honey.
