Honey and Traditional Sugar Testing
Honey, traditional sugar, and jaggery are consumed for their medicinal and health benefits and also as a sweetening agent.
Why do you need to test honey and traditional sugar?
Honey, palm jaggery, coconut jaggery, cane jaggery, unrefined sugar, etc., are high-value natural sweetener, which is rich in health-promoting antioxidants, flavonoids, polyphenols, and minerals. But currently what we buy from the market is poor in these and is highly adulterated with chemicals and toxic preservatives.
These days due to increased global demand and lack of public awareness, many popular brands, and local honey vendors adulterate their honey products with cheap sugar syrup, caramelized sucrose, toxic chemicals, and pesticides that are harmful to consumers. Instead of traditional sugar, poison¬ous substances like saccharine or cyclamate dulsine are added to foods to sweeten them.
