Methodologies and Characterization of Physico-chemical Properties of Apis cerana Honey: A Short Review
2023
Ghosh, S. | Jung, C.E.
Besides the diverse factors associated with ecology, environment, and botanical origin, honey quality may also vary according to honey bee species. In this present review, we present important standard methods of assessing honey quality and functional properties, as well as some properties of Apis cerana honey. Despite being significantly present in Asia and having long-standing recognition for its medicinal values, A. cerana honey receives comparatively less scientific attention than A. mellifera honey. Although scarce, we have compiled some of the available data on physico-chemical properties of A. cerana honey from the scientific literature and examined them according to standards set by the Codex Alimentarius, and the International Honey Commission. In order to promote A. cerana honey, standardization of A. cerana honey is of utmost importance.
