Auteurs : Haderbache L. . Mohammedi A. .
Résumé
Honey is mostly used for therapeutic purposes, that’s why its quality must be closely monitored. This study focuses on the controle of 40 imported honeys coming from 13 countries (2004 – 2011). We revealedthat they do not always have the required quality to be consumed as such. In addition to the labeling and organoleptic problems, often they contains too much moisture (≥18%); 70 % of these samples had an average HMF of 78 mg/kg and a pH less than 3.5, indicating an advanced aging and inapropriate thermal past. Pollen analysis and electrical conductivity was used to confirm presumed origins, and proline rate reveals some inverted sugar fraud.We aim by this work to catchconsumers and localauthoritiesattention in order to strengthen honeycontrol. It is about everyone's health, and it concerns the prosperity of the national beekeeping which faces unfair competition.
