Determination of physico-chemical parameters of polyfloral

Abstract

The article presents the results of studies made on polifloral honey from various local producers. The paper describes the methods for determining the physico-chemical properties of honey by using research methods such as refractometry, titrimetry, spectrophotometry. Attention is drawn to the fact that high demand for apiculture products is often attractive and leads to falsification of honey, which can only be detected by laboratory research methods. Determining the presence of oximethylfurfural has made it possible to identify the natural character of honey and determine the degree of preservation of its natural qualities as well as being a criterion for detection of falsification.
