Sophora honey belongs to the spring honey, produced in China's Yangtze River Basin and the Yellow River Basin in most areas. Sophora honey color is water-white yellow, moderate consistency, not easy to crystallize, the entrance has a light acacia fragrance. Sophora honey can remove dampness diuretic, cool the blood to stop bleeding, have diastolic blood vessels, reduce blood pressure and blood lipids, and used for the prevention of stroke, but also has a heat tonic, detoxification and moistening the effect of dryness. For honey in the top grade, more suitable for cardiovascular patients health care consumption.

Applicable people

Honey

Acacia honey is a spring honey. It is water-white and yellowish, with a light acacia aroma in the mouth, and is not easy to crystallize. Damp-heat body, spleen and stomach cold friends should be cautious, diabetic patients should not be taken.

With tea

Sophora is cool in nature, slightly cold, summer consumption can be borrowed to clear the heat, cool the efficacy of the blood to eliminate the heat

Sophora honey is honey in the top of the heat, tonic, detoxification, moistening the dryness of the efficacy of the

The two with the complementary summer cooling effect, the friends of the spleen and stomach cold should be cautious

Identification

Acacia honey is honey in the color, taste one of the best honey, in recent years, most of the acacia honey are exported, a small number of supermarkets have a small amount of pure acacia honey for sale, but the price is very high, the Beijing production of the "Hundred Flowers" brand of acacia honey, more than 40 yuan per catty. And exporters to buy acacia honey price of more than 33 yuan per catty (this year's estimate is also high)

Several dollars a catty of honey, really there, but very few, and even if it is true, but also the price is high, the quality of the poor, especially the honey degree, can reach 38 degrees even if the good honey, the finished bottled honey degree is generally not less than 41 degrees. The honey with low degree is not easy to keep, easy to ferment and deteriorate.

This kind of honey, adulterated more, there is a small amount of acacia honey, the rest is a sweetener. Many people say that honey with crystallization is adulterated with sugar, wrong! Now who do not want to dope sugar, dope sugar is easy to crystallize, more importantly, dope sugar approach is outdated, because the cost of sugar is higher than a sweetener called syrup of dried fruit (called different places), this sweetener is only one dollar or so per catty, liquid, and acacia honey is exactly the same as the sensory, amber, nearly transparent, never precipitate crystallization. With this sweetener, mixed with a small amount of acacia honey, the cost per catty is three or four dollars, absolutely so that you can not distinguish between the real and the fake, and some even simply sell you this sweetener, but also said that the acacia honey.

You can also use boiling water to see if it's real or fake. Regardless of what kind of honey, as long as it is light-colored (amber, white and other translucent honey, acacia honey is light-colored honey), can be used in this way: take two tablespoons, put into a transparent glass, rushed into the boiling water, stirring, a few moments after the honey and the water is fully integrated, appeared uniform milky suspension, is the real honey. The same with the sweetener described above, into the boiling water and stir, still transparent, no change.

Pure acacia honey has a honey *** have a special sweetness, more a kind of acacia flower fragrance, careful taste, you can also know the true and false.

Honey due to different flowers, down to a certain temperature will have a different degree of crystallization, but adulterated honey mixed with excessive sweetener is not crystallized.

One: Smell

Single-flower honey has the unique floral flavor of the plant, hundred-flower honey has a natural floral flavor breath, fake honey is sucrose flavor, some are spice flavor.

Two: eye view

1. Look at the concentration of honey, take a chopstick and insert it into the honey and lift it vertically. The high concentration of honey down the slow trickle, viscous large can pull silk, broken can be contracted into a honey ball. Fake honey or low concentration of honey is the opposite, even if you can pull long silk, broken silk is not flexible, will not shrink into honey beads.

2. You can take a drop of honey and put it on the newspaper. Pure honey with a high concentration is hemispherical and not easy to soak through the newspaper, while honey with a low concentration or fake honey is easy to soak through the newspaper.

3. Take a glass of water and add a little honey to it. Real honey will quickly sink to the bottom of the cup, not easy to melt, and when stirred slowly with chopsticks, there will be a silky streak. If it is fake honey, it will quickly dissolve into the water.

4. Look at the crystallization of honey, the crystallization of honey and its plant species and temperature related to the general natural honey in the 13 - 14 degrees Celsius when easy to crystallize. The honey that can all crystallize generally contains low moisture, high concentration, not easy to deteriorate, so it is high quality honey. Pure crystallized honey is delicate to the touch and has no sandy feel when rubbed by hand. Fake honey, not easy to crystallize, or precipitate part of the precipitate is hard, not easy to rub broken. Sophora honey is also not easy to crystallize due to its high fructose content, which is not easy to distinguish between Sophora honey and fake honey.　The crystallization of honey is actually the crystallization of glucose, honey is a supersaturated solution of glucose, the higher the glucose content, the easier it is to crystallize, and vice versa is not easy to crystallize. The fructose and glucose content of acacia honey in 1.4:1, so the pure acacia honey is not easy to crystallize, can be placed more than 3 years or even not crystallized, if the crystallization shows that there are other sources of honey. Rape honey is the most easily crystallized honey, fructose and glucose ratio of 0.9:1.

Identifying acacia honey and fake honey can see if there is a foggy feature, real natural honey regardless of the color depth of the foggy state, while the fake honey is shiny, bright, translucent, no foggy features. Furthermore, honey has a spicy throat feeling, delicate, sweet and refreshing in the mouth; fake honey is straight sweet, not refreshing and uncomfortable. Real honey has a natural floral flavor; fake honey has no or artificial flavorings.

Three: taste

Pure natural honey, sweet flavor, slightly acidic, soft and delicate texture, soft and soft, slightly spicy throat, the aftertaste of the long-lasting fragrance. Adulterated honey taste sweet, but mixed with sugar or spice flavor, throat feeling weak, and the aftertaste is thin and short.

Four: chemical test

The honey mixed with starch will turn blue when added to iodine solution, the honey mixed with caramel will appear white flocculent when added to a high concentration of ethanol, and the honey mixed with other impurities will be inserted into the honey with a red-hot iron wire, which will be attached with a sticky substance.

Fifth: Refrigerated crystallization test

Honey stored at 4 to 14 degrees Celsius for a period of time will become solid, which is a physical phenomenon of honey. The crystallization of real honey is very soft with a chopstick and an eye, and fake honey can't be zapped. The real honey is pinched by hand and the crystals dissolve quickly, while the fake honey has the feeling of pinching and dissolves slowly or does not dissolve. Real honey crystals with teeth bite sound small, while the fake honey crystals are crisp and loud. Pour out the honey and wait for it to solidify a little, if it is real honey will form a hexagonal structure such as a honeycomb, the fake does not.

In short, to identify the authenticity of honey, a single method may have some errors, you can apply a variety of methods to identify a honey, in general, you can determine the authenticity of honey. Real honey will have a lot of bubbles in the honey after shaking in the summer, making it easy to rise out of the honey bottle. However, after 1-2 days of standing, the bubbles will disappear automatically, but there will be gas rushing out when you open the honey bottle! This is mainly due to the fact that pure natural honey contains hydrogen peroxide, which is a fungicide. Hydrogen peroxide easily decomposes into oxygen at high temperatures! Thus, the surface of the honey has a layer of white bubbles.
