This comparative analysis shows differences in physicochemical properties of honey from Apis dorsata and Apis cerana, indicating varying quality standards.
Key Points
Honey from Apis dorsata revealed higher minerals and HMF content than Apis cerana honey.
Ash, minerals, and HMF content were significantly different between honey sourced from wild and domesticated bees.
Evaluation assessed physicochemical properties including moisture content, pH, and glucose levels in both honey types.
Findings may promote honey business entrepreneurship in the international market through enhanced quality analysis.
