Glucose/Fructose

While sugar is 100% sucrose, honey is composed primarily of the simple sugars Glucose and Fructose (monosaccharides) and a further 17-20% of water.

Fructose is slightly sweeter than glucose and is the predominant sugar in most honeys, making the honey taste slightly sweeter than sugar. These proportions may vary depending on the source of the nectar and differences in climatic conditions, which can affect the various properties of honey. These 2 carbohydrates are responsible for some of the key functional properties in honey, to include the ability to hold moisture, extend shelf-life, its microwave reactivity and its ability to promote colour and flavour. In good quality honey the fructose content should generally exceed that of glucose.

The Glucose/Fructose Analysis from Biorex Food Diagnostics provides accurate and reliable measurement of glucose and fructose, the principal sugars in honey, supporting comprehensive honey quality and authenticity testing. By assessing the relative proportions of these monosaccharides, laboratories and producers can monitor sweetness, crystallisation behaviour, shelf-life, and product stability.

This analysis is essential for identifying adulteration with sugar syrups or artificial sweeteners and ensuring compliance with EU and Codex Alimentarius standards for honey composition. Its user-friendly methodology allows personnel with minimal training to perform tests confidently and efficiently, ensuring consistent and reproducible results.

The Glucose/Fructose Analysis provides quantitative data, enabling producers to verify honey authenticity, predict shelf-life, and maintain premium product quality. Monitoring the glucose-to-fructose ratio safeguards consumer confidence, supports regulatory compliance, and ensures batch-to-batch consistency in honey production.

Manufactured to high-quality standards, this analysis delivers precise, reproducible, and dependable results, helping laboratories and producers protect product integrity, detect adulteration, and maintain high standards in honey quality from hive to shelf.
