At NutriLab, we offer comprehensive Honey Analysis services to assess the quality, safety, and authenticity of honey and related bee products. Our testing supports producers, packagers, and exporters in meeting both local and international standards for purity, labeling, and food safety.
Our Honey Testing Services
Our laboratory offers a wide range of tests specifically for honey quality and compliance:
Chemical Composition Analysis
Examines key indicators of honey purity and freshness:
- HMF (Hydroxymethylfurfural) content – freshness and heat exposure
- Diastase Activity – enzyme activity and quality index
- Moisture content – fermentation risk and shelf life
- Electrical Conductivity – botanical origin indicator
Ensures honey complies with food safety and EU quality standards.
Melissopalynological Analysis (Pollen Analysis)
Microscopic examination to:
- Identify floral and geographical origin
- Confirm monofloral vs multifloral classification
- Verify authenticity and labeling claims
Crucial for traceability and export certification.
Sugar Profile Analysis
Quantifies natural and added sugars:
- Glucose and Fructose
- Sucrose and Maltose
- Detection of syrup adulteration (glucose/fructose syrups)
Helps ensure product purity and protect against fraud.
