“…Colza and honeydew honeys present non-Newtonian shear thinning behaviour, as viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate. This is not a surprise, as honeydew honey contains large amounts of proteins (of high molecular mass), and sunflower honey presents the highest content of carbohydrates, in line with the findings of other groups for colza [42] and heather [43] honey.…”

“…Studies have identified a temperature-dependent Newtonian behaviour for acacia, heather, sunflower, lime, and rape honey, as well as non-Newtonian behaviour for certain crystallized samples [42,43]. Several anomalies in terms of yield point, shear thinning, and rheodynamic behaviour of the crystallized honey in the temperature range investigated have been detected.…”

Making a significant contribution to the European honey trade, Romania has been lately engaged in an exhaustive process of ensuring product conformity. Both official bodies and research groups have taken part in the efforts to establish an efficient framework for characterizing and authenticating unifloral and polyfloral honey samples produced and commercialized. Innovative contributions of different Romanian scientists to the development of simple and/or effective investigation techniques are discussed, as well as the results gained in characterizing and classifying samples according to their botanical and/ or geographical origin. Information on the honey production and commercialization in the last 25 years is also provided, as well as a sketch of the Romanian consumer profile.

“…An another reason for nonNewtonian thixotropic flow behaviour of honeys can be presence of high-molecular-weight components such as proteins or dextran. The above phenomenon was stated for heather, manuka and buckwheat honeys, whilst dilatancy was observed for some eucalyptus kinds of them (Munro, 1943;Pryce-Jones, 1953;Serra Bonvehi and Granados Tarrés, 1993;Samanalieva and Senge, 2009). …”

“…The majority of fluid honeys shows Newtonian behaviour and their viscosity strongly depends on temperature (Yoo, 2004;Juszczak and Fortuna, 2006;Yanniotis et al, 2006;Gómez-Diaz et al, 2009;Kumar and Mandal, 2009). Non-Newtonian flow behaviour with yield stress and thixotropy were observed in case of honeys with clearly evident presence of crystals (Bakier and Lewczuk, 2000;Chen et al, 2009;Samanalieva and Senge, 2009). An another reason for nonNewtonian thixotropic flow behaviour of honeys can be presence of high-molecular-weight components such as proteins or dextran.…”

“…Bee honey has pro-health, antioxidative and antibacterial properties that are commonly used in apitherapy. In respect of physical properties, honey is a supersaturated solution of carbohydrates (Samanalieva and Senge, 2009), in which fructose and glucose are abundant. The ratio of fructose to glucose is a factor determining crystallization rate of honey, and as a result it is responsible for rheological properties of honey.…”

Honey has been used not only as a food source but also for medicinal purposes. Recent studies have indicated that honey exhibits antioxidant, hepatoprotective, hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic and anti‐obesity properties, as well as anticancer, anti‐atherosclerotic, hypotensive, neuroprotective and immunomodulatory activities. These health benefits of honey could be attributed to its wide range of nutritional components, including polysaccharides and polyphenols, which have been proven to possess various beneficial properties. It is notable that the composition of honey can also be affected by nectar, season, geography and storage condition. Moreover, the safety of honey requires caution to avoid any potential safety incidents. Therefore, this review aims to provide recent research regarding the chemical composition, biological activities and safety of honey, which might be attributed to comprehensive utilization of honey. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.
