A comparative analysis of Hungarian robinia and milkweed honeys based on their chemical and physical characteristics

2003

Kasper-Szel, Zs. | Amtmann, M. | Takats, A. | Kardos-Neumann, A.

Sugar composition, pH, invertase and diastase activity and colour of 7 robinia (Robinia pseudoacacia) and 8 milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) honey samples were compared, all purchased from producers and wholesalers. Milkweed honeys proved to be of darker colour and more acidic. The two unifloral honeys showed statistically significant differences between their diastase and invertase activities, milkweed honey showed higher enzyme activity values than robinia honey.
