How to identify the authenticity of honey? Identification
Fake honey is very close to real honey and can only be identified with sophisticated electronic analysis instruments, so consumers must choose reputable brand-name products when buying honey. Among all kinds of honey sold in the market, especially in bulk honey sold by some vendors, some honey is adulterated with fake. The adulteration is mainly mixed with sugar, water and starch, and some honey also contains impurities and the texture is impure. As long as you master a certain identification method, the adulteration of honey can be seen.
The most important feature of all fake honey is that the price is very low, so be careful when purchasing. First, compare the price. If the disparity is too large, you have to see if it is fake honey. In addition to using the price method, I now recommend other methods to everyone.
The first method:
If there is starch, corn flour or flour in the honey, the taste is not very sweet and the color looks cloudy. You can put a small amount of honey into a cup, add an appropriate amount of water to boil, drop a few drops of rice wine after cooling and shake well. If the solution turns blue or red or purple, it means that the honey is mixed with starches.
The second method:
Drop the honey on a white paper. If the honey gradually seeps, it indicates that it is mixed with sucrose and water. Honey mixed with sugar has poor transparency, is not clear, is cloudy, and has poor floral aroma. Honey mixed with brown sugar is dark in color; honey mixed with white sugar is light in color.
The third method:
If you pick up the honey with chopsticks, you can pull the long silk, and the wire will automatically retract into a ball. Insert red-hot wire into the honey. If there is sticky material on the wire, it means that there are impurities in the honey. If the wire is still smooth, it means that there are no impurities.
The fourth method:
Take one point of honey, add two points of cold boiled water and four points of 95% alcohol, mix well and leave it for one day and night. If there is no impurity precipitation, it means that the quality is pure.
