The best honey is raw honey, which is taken directly from the beehive. Although it contains a small amount of natural additives like pollen, beeswax, and enzymes like diastase and invertase, most of these are within acceptable limits. Because of this, they rarely cause harm to consumers.

Can we say the same about the honey we purchase from the market, though? In order to boost honey’s volume and give it an artificially sweeter flavour, the processed honey industry is infested with additives like sugar syrup. While this might enhance the quantity, flavour, and aesthetics of the honey, it unquestionably lowers the honey’s quality.

Here, in MGVI we provide honey quality screening for you.

RapidRAW is a newly developed method to readily detect substance commonly found in raw honey is which uniquely found in natural honey compared to adulterated honey. The method generally precipitates natural and organic components, mainly proteins in a water-based solution. When applied to raw and pure honey samples, precipitation will form indicating the presence of mixtures of these components. On the other hand, precipitation fails to form when it’s applied to a sugar concoction and on fake honey, therefore suggesting the absence of the components.
