2. Real honey is a viscous liquid, which arouses visible flexible filaments and keeps flowing. False honey has suspended matter or precipitation, and its viscosity is small. When it is stirred, it falls drop by drop and then is cut off. After exposure, real honey becomes thinner, while fake honey remains unchanged or thickens. If honey is extremely thin and easy to flow, it may be mixed with water.
3. Real honey smells pure and natural, with faint floral fragrance, while fake honey smells pungent or fruity.
4. True honey is sweet and delicious, with sticky taste, slightly sour taste and long aftertaste. When you taste the crystal block, your teeth will be brittle and it will melt. If you taste the fake honey carefully, it has a bitter taste or a strange smell of chemicals, but it has no aromatic fragrance. The crystal block chews like sugar, and its voice is crisp and loud.
5, carefully check the product label, some honey product ingredients list says sucrose, white sugar, high fructose syrup, high fructose syrup and so on. This is not allowed by real honey products.
6. Honey mixed with flour, starch or corn flour is turbid in color and not sweet enough in taste. Put a small amount of honey into a cup, add a proper amount of water to boil, drop a few drops of yellow wine after cooling, and shake well. If the solution turns blue or red or purple, it means that the honey is mixed with starch.
7. Insert the red-hot wire into the honey. If it is good honey, you can see the smoke coming out after plugging in the wire, but you can also smell the fragrance of fruits and flowers. If mixed with sugar, it will smell burnt.
8. Take honey 1 part, add 2 parts of cold boiled water and 4 parts of 95% alcohol, mix them evenly and leave them for one day and night. If there is no impurity precipitation, the quality is pure.
9. Real honey will have a lot of bubbles after being shaken evenly in summer, which makes it easy for honey to rise out of the honey bottle. But after 1-2 days, the bubbles will disappear automatically, but as soon as the honey bottle is opened, the gas will rush out!
This is mainly because pure natural honey contains disinfectant hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is easily decomposed into oxygen at high temperature! That there is a layer of white bubbles on the surface of honey! Winter is also quite simple. Put honey in hot water of 30-40 degrees for 4-5 minutes, then stir honey 10-20 times with chopsticks, and then let it stand. Pure natural honey will have bubbles on its surface.
1. After opening the bottle, fresh honey has obvious floral fragrance, while old honey has faint fragrance. Fake honey made of essence smells bad. Single nectar has its own fragrance.
2. Pure honey not only smells pleasant, but also tastes rich. When honey is placed on the tongue, the tongue touches the mandible, and the honey slowly enters the throat, it will feel slightly sweet and sour, with delicate taste, slightly spicy throat and long aftertaste. After honey is adulterated, the above feeling becomes weak, with sweet water taste and strong sour or salty taste.
3. China is used to taking immature honey, so honey has high water content. Most of the honey sold in the market is processed and concentrated, and its water content is relatively low. Stir the honey with chopsticks or fingers. It would be better if you could extract the honey. No wire drawing indicates high water content. You can also drop a drop of honey on the toilet paper. If the water trace is easy to spread, it means that the water content is high. Pure honey beads do not come loose.
4, the temperature is high in summer, and honey is not easy to crystallize; Honey is easy to crystallize when the temperature is low in winter. Some honey crystallizes easily, while others are not.
Some people misunderstand honey crystallization, and think that a crystallization is fake honey or adulteration, which is incorrect. Honey crystals are fish eggs or grease-like, delicate, white in color, without sand feeling when rubbed by hand, and the crystals are easy to enter. The honey crystal mixed with sugar is granular, which feels like sand when twisted by hand, and it is not fragile, and it feels like eating sugar at the entrance.
5. Dissolve honey in water, stir well and let stand. If there are impurities in honey, it will float or sink. Honey is a natural product, and a small amount of impurities does not affect the quality of honey itself.
6. Pure honey is shiny and transparent, with only a small amount of pollen residue and foam suspended in it, and no other excessive impurities. The color of honey varies from honey source to plant, but the color of honey in the same bottle should be the same.
