Unlocking the Secrets of Golden Nectar: Honey Testing
Honey, the golden nectar highly valued for both its inherent sweetness and myriad health benefits, has long captivated the attention of people all over the world.
Duo to its high value, honey is an expensive to produce food, and together with herbs and spices is the second most adulterated food globally, trailing only dairy foods.
We're excited to offer our cutting-edge Fluorescence spectroscopic testing facility for honey (equipped in Nanoscience Research Group, AIPT, Aston University lead by Dr. Alex Rozhin) under AGRI project. This service harnesses the power of FL spectroscopy to unveil the hidden details of honey, offering potential insights into its quality and composition.
This testing is exclusively available to companies in the Shropshire Local Authority area and it has been funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and is bound by Minimum Financial Assistance (MFA) rules, regulations, and eligibility criteria.
The Science behind the Sweetness
Spectroscopic testing employs advanced Fluorescence techniques to examine the unique molecular fingerprint of honey. By shining light through a sample, we can precisely measure how different frequencies of light response with Honey molecules, providing a comprehensive profile of its properties. From assessing quality and nutrients and micronutrients present in this natural golden nectar, spectroscopy opens a window into the intricate world of honey.
Empowering Consumers and Beekeepers Confidence
“Beekeepers and honey producers have the opportunity to establish credibility with customers and maintain the integrity of their products by verifying the quality of their honey by checking for micronutrients and nutrients and detecting honey counterfeits using our high-quality scientific report generated using advanced Fluorescence spectroscopic analysis.
On the other hand, users can feel secure in the knowledge that the honey they eat not only meets their taste buds but also increases their trust in its quality, guaranteeing their intended use and general health.”
