This is the first question before buying honey whether honey is pure! But do we know which is pure honey? And how to mark it?
Pollen Test: Pollen test is the best test to mark the purity of honey. Pollen is microscopic, so take a drop of honey on a glass slide and observe it under a microscope to be sure whether there is pollen in honey or not. If the honey contains clear and sufficient pollen, then it can be confirmed scientifically that it is pure honey. Here pollen is the molecule of the flower by which the plant reproduces. When a bee takes honey, molecules are added to the body, which are also mixed with the honey. Since pollen cannot be produced artificially and is too microscopic, a microscope or microscope can only tell if there are enough molecules in honey to determine whether the honey is pure or not.
Moisture Test: The presence of pollen alone is not the only criterion for pure honey under a microscope. Along with this, the amount of water in the honey has to be measured. Honey can be divided into four phases. If honey contains 18/20% water then it is grade A honey, if honey contains 20/22% water then it is grade B honey, if honey contains 22/25% water then it is grade C honey and honey if water content is less than 26/27 % but it is D grade honey. Water content above 27% is considered nectar in apiculture and not honey. Nectar is nectar that is converted into honey by the bee’s stomach and bee process.
Refractometer is the name of honey moisture measuring device.
These two tests can mark quality pure honey.
