How can you tell if honey is mixed with sugar water?

Drip the honey on the absorbent paper, if it gradually seeps, it means that it is mixed with sugar water; In cold weather, it is normal for honey to have white precipitate that is glucose crystallization.

Pure honey does not ooze easily when dripped on white paper, while honey mixed with water will gradually seep out. Pure honey has a high concentration and a slow flow. Put a drop of honey on paper, high-quality honey is bead-shaped, not easy to disperse; Inferior honey is not bead-shaped and tends to spread out.

Honey as a health food. Favored by people. Among the various types of honey in the market**, especially the bulk honey sold by some vendors, some honey is adulterated.

Adulteration is mainly adulterated with sugar, water and starch. Some honey contains impurities and has an impure texture. As long as there is a certain identification method, honey adulteration or not can be identified.

1. Drip the honey on white paper or straw paper, if the honey gradually seeps out, it means mixed with sucrose and water. Honey mixed with sugar has poor transparency, is not clear, is cloudy, and has a poor floral aroma. Honey mixed with brown sugar is dark, and honey mixed with white sugar is light white.

2. Honey mixed with flour, starch or corn flour is cloudy in color and not sweet enough. Put a small amount of honey into a cup, add an appropriate amount of water to boil, after cooling, drop a few drops of iodine wine and shake well, if the solution turns blue or red or purple, it means that the honey is mixed with starchy substances.

3. Insert the red-hot wire into the honey, if there is sticky matter attached to the wire, it means that there are impurities in the honey. If the wire is still smooth, there are no impurities. Take a part of honey, add two parts of cold boiled water and four parts of 95 parts of alcohol, mix well and let it go for a day and night, if there is no impurity precipitation, it means that the quality is pure.

4. Take a tablespoon of honey and add it to a small half cup of very strong herbal green tea, if the honey has been contaminated by heavy metals, the tannins in the tea will react with the heavy metals in the honey to produce gray or brown and black salts. The darker the color, the greater the degree of heavy metal contamination.

5. Insert the red-hot wire into the honey, the bubbling is the real honey, and the smoking is fake. Pick up honey with chopsticks, and if it can be pulled into a long filament, the filament will automatically retract and be spherical. Mix honey and water in a ratio of 1:5 and leave it for a day, and it is best if there is no sediment.

After honey is added with white sugar, it is generally difficult to judge from the appearance of pure honey.

When choosing honey, you should still check the test report and judge from the composition.

How to tell if honey has been adulterated with sugar:

1. Identification through taste.

01 The taste of honey is inevitably related to the nectar source plant, and real honey will have the fragrance of the nectar source plant, and this fragrance is particularly natural.

02 After mixing with white sugar, this fragrance will become faint or even none, or it is simply a strong flavor flavor, the taste of real honey is particularly sweet and delicious, and the taste and honey mixed with white sugar are completely different.

2. Identification by crystallization.

01 Honey will naturally crystallize under certain conditions, although different honey species have slight differences in crystallization, but as long as it is real honey after crystallization, it is very soft, and the crystalline particles will melt with a gentle twist by hand.

02 The honey mixed with white sugar looks like ice slag after crystallization, the particles are very hard and it is difficult to twist it by hand, the crystallization of real honey is generally crystallized as a whole, and the phenomenon of multi-layer crystallization may occur after mixing with white sugar.

3. Evaporation water identification.

01The main components of honey are glucose, fructose, and water. When mixed with white sugar, the main components are sucrose, glucose, fructose and water.

02. The water in the honey can be evaporated to identify the authenticity, the specific operation is to evaporate the water under the sun, and the real honey will leave a "stain" with uniform color after drying

03 The honey mixed with white sugar will leave some hard sugar lumps after drying.

4. Penetration identification of paper towels.

01 The principle of paper towel penetration identification is the same as the previous evaporation water identification, the specific operation method is to drop honey on the paper towel, and then put the paper towel in the sun to dry or dry.

02 Real honey will leave a mark on the paper towel after drying, which will look like you usually accidentally drip oil on your clothes, while honey mixed with white sugar will leave some white powder on the paper towel.

5. Mixing sugar with honey is the most common method of fraud.

01 However, the above identification methods are only effective for ordinary adulteration, in fact, some clever adulteration cannot be identified in this way, and sophisticated instruments must be used to identify the composition of honey.

From the point of view of color, if white sugar is added to the general honey, the color will be deepened, and from the taste point of view, different types of pure honey are different, light-colored honey is fragrant and refreshing, and dark-colored honey has a mellow taste, all with the unique fragrance of nectar source plants, and honey containing white sugar may taste other peculiar smells other than sweet taste, and some white sugar taste is heavier.

At the same time, you can also twist it by hand, and if you twist it by hand, it has a sandy feeling and is not easy to crush. Even if pure honey is crystallized, it is as sandy as animal oil when twisted by hand. The most important thing is that honey containing white sugar is very different from pure honey in terms of composition.

1. Look at the luster and color: because honey contains some proteins, biological enzymes, minerals and pollen, it does not look very clear and bright, and it is light yellow or amber, and it is better to have a light color. 2. Smell the smell:

Real honey smells pure and natural, with a light floral scent, while fake honey smells pungent and off-odor. 3. Crystallization identification: fake honey is not crystallized, but the white sugar added to some fake honey will also precipitate under certain conditions and form a precipitate at the bottom of the bottle.

The crystals of real honey are relatively soft, and they can be easily twisted and delicate when placed on the fingers. 4. Taste identification: real honey is sweet and delicious, with a slight sour taste, the crystalline block is crispy when it enters the teeth, and the clump is melted with wheels, while the fake honey has a bitter and astringent taste, and the crystalline block chews like granulated sugar, and the sound is crisp and loud.

Summary. Hello, the authenticity of honey can be distinguished by tasting. If it is mixed with fructose, it will have a taste of fruit candy in the mouth, and there is only sweetness in the mouth, and this sweetness comes and goes quickly.

How to identify fructose-blended honey.

Hello, the authenticity of honey can be distinguished by tasting. If it is mixed with fructose, it will have a taste of fruit candy in the mouth, and there is only sweetness in the mouth, and this sweetness comes and goes quickly.

It can be discerned by smelling and tasting. Let me tell you a simple solution. Put the honey in the bottle, 1:

5 ratios into the bottle. That's one part honey and five parts air. Shaking will produce bubbles, and after standing for a long time, the bubbles will not disperse, which is real honey.

Fake honey bubbles will disappear quickly.

For natural honey, because it is rich in active substances and enzymes, a large number of bubbles will appear after adding water and shaking, and it will not dissipate for a long time Through this method, we can identify the blended honey or sugar water honey, and the blended honey will not appear a large number of bubbles, even if there are bubbles that will dissipate after a while. However, for the bottom molasses, because it will also contain nectar, the taste and shape are the same as natural honey, so there is no way to identify it, unless it is tested by a testing agency. Through the above analysis, everyone should know whether the sugar in honey can be identified, and it is really difficult to identify, because there are too many situations.
