“…Therefore, the higher HMF content's impact on the honey color is darker (Tornuk et al 2013;Da Silva et al 2016). The HMF of honey from the A. cerana in our study (Table 2) was differed to previously reported by Wu et al (2020) for multifloral honey of A. cerana cerana from China is 3.80 mg/kg and 1.69 mg/kg for A. cerana honey from Qinling Mountains, China is 1.69 mg/kg. The different HMF content of honey from A. cerana reported by previous researchers are influenced by the different plant types as the nectar source to produce honey, different sugar content, and different geographical origin.…”

“…Furthermore, diastase activity is also used to evaluate honey age-related to storage time and temperature because the diastase activity may be reduced when heating above 60 o C and longtime storage (Yücel and Sultanoǧlu 2013;Da Silva et al 2016). The honey diastase activity from the bee A. cerana in our study (Table 2) differed from Wu et al (2020) for multifloral honey produced by the A. cerana cerana from the Hainan province (China) was 6.70 Göthe. Furthermore, it also differed from Wang et al (2021) that the diastase activity of A. cerana honey from Qinling Mountains (China) ranged from 22.05 to 35.67 Göthe.…”

“…A considerable amount of water will evaporated in this process, which continues with the help of wing fans that can regulate the air humidity for about 15 to 20 minutes (Balasubramanyam 2021;Zhang et al 2021). The honey moisture content in our study differed from Wang et al (2021), that honey moisture from the bee A. cerana, which is collected from 42 different honeycombs from China, ranges from 17.03 to 18.44%, 18.65% for A. cerana cerana from Hainan province, China (Wu et al 2020), and 16.99% for A. cerana from Borneo (Malaysian honey) (Moniruzzaman et al 2013). Furthermore, Erwan et al (2020) also reported that the honey moisture produced by the A. mellifera bee by using sugar palm and coconut saps ranges from 19.34 to 20.94%.…”

Abstract. Erwan, Agussalim. 2022. Honey quality from the bee Apis cerana, honey potency produced by coconut and sugar palm saps. Biodiversitas 23: 5854-5861. One of the big problems when keeping honeybees is the limited sustainable feed, especially in the rainy season. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the honey quality from the bee Apis cerana based on the chemical composition and honey potency produced by the coconut and sugar palm saps. This study using thirty colonies of the bee A. cerana was divided into six treatments consisting of sugar palm sap without sugar palm pollen, coconut sap without sugar palm pollen, coconut sap of 50% + sugar palm sap of 50% without sugar palm pollen, sugar palm sap was added by sugar palm pollen; coconut sap was added by sugar palm pollen; coconut sap of 50% + sugar palm sap of 50% was added by sugar palm pollen. The chemical composition of honey from the A. cerana was moisture (20.76 to 21.80%), reducing sugar (62.78 to 68.37%), sucrose (1.44 to 3.42%), diastase enzyme activity (5.17 to 9.04 DN), hydroxymethylfurfural (2.24 to 5.81 mg/kg), and acidity (26.00 to 36.33 mL NaOH/kg). Honey potency produced by the coconut and sugar palm saps in 100 hectares area produces honey was 1542.857 tons/year and 1150 tons/year, respectively. It can be concluded that the quality of A. cerana honey, produced by the sugar palm and coconut saps, is acceptable by the Indonesian national and international standards. The sugar palm and coconut saps have big potential as bee feed, especially for the bee A. cerana.

“…Exception was found in the case of As and Se where the highest concentration was located from the wild honey samples, though the overall mean concentration was high in samples collected from apiary boxes. A similar pattern was also obtained from a recent comparative study on multifloral honeys collected by specific honeybees [113] (Table 6).…”

Honey is a natural substance produced by honeybees from the nectar or secretion of flowering plants. Along with the botanical and geographical origin, several environmental factors also play a major role in determining the characteristics of honey. The aim of this study is to determine and compare the elemental concentration of various macro and trace elements in apiary and wild honeys collected from different parts of Indian Sundarbans. The elemental analysis was performed in inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy preceded by microwave digestion method. The concentrations of 19 elements (Ag,

The chemical properties of honey depend on the source of collection to packaging, but little is known about honey in Sabah. The aim of this study was to distinguish between the physicochemical properties and mineral content of 76 honey samples from local sources and supermarkets in Sabah, which were from contract beekeepers, unknown sources and branded honey. Raw honey was collected from contract beekeepers, while honey from unknown source was obtained from street vendors and wet markets, while branded honey was purchased from local supermarkets. The chemical parameters of the honey were assessed using established methods, while the mineral content of the honey was determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Significant differences were found in several parameters measured in honey from different sources, with principal component analysis (PCA) showing clear separation between the measured parameters, yielding five factors that accounted for up to 72.25% of the total explained variance. Honey from contract beekeepers showed significant differences and higher mineral content (Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Na and Zn) compared to honey from unknown source and branded honey. Potassium was the most important element in the study with an average of 2.65 g/kg and 629.4 mg/kg for sources from contract beekeepers and branded honey, respectively. The honey from the contract beekeepers was of better quality due to its high mineral content. The results suggest that honey from contract beekeepers could be a good choice when it comes to high mineral content.
