There are a lot of fake honey in the market. The counterfeiters add water and alum to the white sugar at home and then cook it in a pot. Finally, the syrup is bottled and sold, which becomes honey in people's eyes. It's actually monosaccharide syrup.

Blending maltose and syrup is also one of the important methods to make fake honey. The appearance and shape of fake honey made by this method are very similar to real honey, and inexperienced people are easily fooled.

Using amylase as honey is an advanced method of counterfeiting. They first break down the fermented amylase and then make it into glucose syrup. This special glucose syrup is very similar to natural honey in color and texture, but it has no floral fragrance of natural honey. Counterfeiters will add essence to this syrup and then package it for sale.

Method for distinguishing true and false honey:

1, look at the color, honey has light yellow, amber, reddish brown and other colors due to different pollen components, and true honey has strong light transmission.

2, smell, real honey smells very fragrant, rich in taste, you can smell it when you open the lid.

3, taste, the taste of honey is sweet, not throat, because different pollen materials have different tastes, such as: Sophora japonica honey, jujube honey, chestnut honey and so on. There will be a strong pollen smell.

4, look at the crystallization state, honey will crystallize when the temperature is low, and a little precipitation is normal.

5, and honey mixed with white sugar will also produce crystals, but that is the crystallization of white sugar, which can't be tied with chopsticks.

6. It is normal to pour a cup of honey water with clear water, which is turbid, because there may be impurities in the brewing process, but it is hard to say if it is too clear.
