Honey as a delicious food; it is especially chosen for old, sick and pregnant people. The quality of honey is the most predetermining issue in price determination. It is also a centre of attention that consumers value in marketing. The present review was focused on parameters for honey quality: moisture contents, reducing sugars (glucose and fructose), sucrose, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), diastase (amylase) activity, pH, minerals and water-insoluble materials of honey in East African countries (Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Sudan). The review showed that almost all of the mean values of honey quality parameters were within the acceptable range of EU, FAO/WHO which was set as permission limit requirement for general blossom honey quality. However, there were some outliers of the limit set by the Council of the European and Codex regulations for sucrose in Ethiopia and Sudan, for free acidity in Sudan, for HMF and enzyme content in Uganda, and for water-insoluble materials of honey overall in the region. Differences in honey moisture, HMF, free acidity and ash were observed among the East African countries. To maintain, the requirement of honey quality, consecutive training should be given for beekeepers, honey processors and traders on honey harvesting, handling, processing, storing and marketing so that honey quality with respect to standards are achieved for users at the end.

东非蜂蜜理化性质研究进展

蜂蜜是一种美味的食物;它特别适合老人、病人和孕妇。蜂蜜的质量是价格决定中最先决的问题。它也是消费者在营销中重视的关注中心。本综述重点关注蜂蜜质量参数:东非国家蜂蜜的水分含量、还原糖(葡萄糖和果糖)、蔗糖、羟甲基糠醛(HMF)、淀粉酶(淀粉酶)活性、pH、矿物质和水不溶性材料(埃塞俄比亚、肯尼亚、乌干达、坦桑尼亚和苏丹)。审查表明,几乎所有蜂蜜质量参数的平均值都在欧盟、粮农组织/世卫组织的可接受范围内,该范围被设定为一般开花蜂蜜质量的许可限制要求。然而,欧洲理事会和法典条例对埃塞俄比亚和苏丹的蔗糖、苏丹的游离酸度、乌干达的 HMF 和酶含量以及该地区整个蜂蜜的水不溶性材料设定的限制存在一些异常值. 在东非国家之间观察到蜂蜜水分、HMF、游离酸度和灰分的差异。为了保持蜂蜜质量的要求,应对养蜂人、蜂蜜加工商和贸易商进行蜂蜜采收、处理、加工、储存和销售方面的连续培训,以便最终为用户提供符合标准的蜂蜜质量。在东非国家中观察到游离酸度和灰分。为了保持蜂蜜质量的要求,应对养蜂人、蜂蜜加工商和贸易商进行蜂蜜采收、处理、加工、储存和销售方面的连续培训,以便最终为用户提供符合标准的蜂蜜质量。在东非国家中观察到游离酸度和灰分。为了保持蜂蜜质量的要求,应对养蜂人、蜂蜜加工商和贸易商进行蜂蜜采收、处理、加工、储存和销售方面的连续培训,以便最终为用户提供符合标准的蜂蜜质量。
