Zuluaga Gallego Ingeniería Honey honey bee apis mellifera quality standards microbiology analysis Characterizations of Apis mellifera honey produced in Southwest of Antio- quia, an important coffee region of Colombia, have not been published in recent years. In the present work, seven samples of honey collected in the mentioned region, were physically (refractive index, specific rotation, den- sity), chemically (moisture content, water activity, pH, free acidity, carbo- hydrates) and microbiologically (Clostridium, fungi and yeast) analyzed. The results show that the analyzed honeys meet both national (Resolu- ción 1057 of 2010) and International (Codex-Stan 12 of 1981) standards for moisture content, free acidity, sucrose content and microbiological pa- rameters, indicating their good quality. Fructose/glucose ratio, pH and specific rotation values indicate that the samples are blossom honeys. 2013 artículo científico 1794-9165 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=83529050004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=835 Ingeniería y Ciencia application/pdf Universidad EAFIT Ingeniería y Ciencia (Colombia) Num.18 Vol.9 |
