Honey, besides being a natural ingredient in cooking, also provides numerous health benefits to consumers. However, at the present time, due to the pursuit of profits, many people use unsafe ingredients to blend or make fake honey.
In order to identify real honey from fake or low-quality honey, Associate Professor and Doctor Nguyen Duy Thinh from the Institute of Biotechnology and Food, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, said that consumers can distinguish them through the senses and by smelling and tasting the products.
By relying on the thickness, taste, and dissolving rate of the honey droplets, consumers can differentiate real honey from fake honey and honey that is not pure.
According to Mr. Thinh, to choose quality honey, consumers must first buy at reputable and reliable places. Besides that, to make sure about the quality of the honey, buyers can examine the product’s taste. Real honey has a very fragrant and thick taste, with a slightly pungent aftertaste; these characteristics are hard to find in impure honey.
In addition, customers can also test the purity of honey by observing how it dissolves in water. According to the expert, buyers can use a chopstick to dip into the honey jar, then let the honey drip into a bowl of water and observe how it dissolves. If it is real honey, the honey drop will fall straight to the bottom without dispersing into small drops. With impure or blended honey, the honey drop will quickly dissolve.
Nowadays, many customers test the quality of honey by putting it in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. If it does not freeze after 24 hours, it is real honey; otherwise, it is not.
