Physicochemical and microbiological quality of honeys produced by stingless bees Scaptotrigona polysticta, Melipona illota and Tetragonisca angustula (Apidae: Meliponini) in San Martín, Peru

Abstract: The honeys from stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini) are recognized for their medicinal properties. They are commonly used by many indigenous groups around the world. However, in Peru stingless beekeeping is practiced in an artisanal way and the honeys remain products whose qualities are still little studied. The objective of this work was to analyze physicochemical characteristics and microbiological quality of honeys produced by Scaptotrigona polysticta Moure, Melipona illota Cockerell and Tetrag… Show more

“…Molds are known as xerophiles since they thrive in samples with low water contents between 16.2 to 17.0%. The high water content of stingless bees’ honey could favor the growth of molds and yeasts [76]. The absence of yeasts and molds in some honey samples confirms that honey has inherent antimicrobial properties that can delay the growth of many microorganisms.…”

“…El trabajo con abejas sin aguijón es hoy muy popular y crece de manera progresiva en productos de la investigación y emprendimientos económicos (Marconi et al, 2020). En 2009, Claus Rasmussen -pionero de la investigación de este grupo en el Perú-nos entregó algunas colonias, pero tuvieron que transcurrir algunos años hasta que por fin pudimos constituir un grupo de trabajo.…”

“…La meliponicultura en México ha tenido un resurgimiento en los últimos 15 años debido a la demanda creciente de productos orgánicos y con propiedades funcionales (1). Sin embargo, la introducción en el mercado de miel producida por abejas sin aguijón está limitada por el poco conocimiento de las características que definen su calidad, así como la ausencia de reglamentos y procedimientos técnicos que definan sus estándares de calidad (2).…”
