The objective of this study was to determine the correlations between the viscosity and temperature of honey and the velocity of ultrasonic wave propagation, and to investigate the use of ultrasonic methods in the identification of different honey types. Within the analyzed temperature range, a significant correlation was found between ultrasound propagation velocity and the viscosity of honey. The results of this experiment suggest that the velocity of ultrasonic wave propagation measured at a temperature of 25 o C may be a factor discriminating between different types of honey.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
