“…Additionally, viscosity of the honey is an important property, affecting the movement of honey through those processing steps (Yanniotis et al ., ). Because of high sugar and low moisture contents in honey, its viscosity is consequently high and increases with decreasing temperature (Mossel et al ., ; Yanniotis et al ., ; Subramanian et al ., ; Gómez‐Díaz et al ., ; Oroian et al ., , ; Oroian, ; Bakier, ) causing some difficulties in handling and processing, as well as reducing production efficiency (Subramanian et al ., ). Therefore, it is a common practice that honey is heated to reduce its viscosity for ease of handling (Kabbani et al ., ) and improve flowability during pumping and processing.…”
