Chemical analysis of summer honeys collected from Apis dorsata hives of Saoli Tahsil of Chandrapur district of Maharashtra State, India.
Keywords:
Chemical Analysis, Summer Honey, Saoli TahsilAbstract
The present investigation was undertaken to determine the chemical analysis of 5 summer honey samples (CHN-SAO-VYD, CHN-SAO-NEEA, CHN-SAO-PET, CHN-SAO-PAT, CHN-SAO-VEH) collected from forest area of Saoli Tahsil of Chandrapur District of Maharashtra State (India). These samples were analysed for several parameters such as moisture, total reducing sugar, Levulose or Fructose, Dextrose or Glucose, L/D ratio, Sucrose, Acidity. This type of chemical analysis favours the utilization of the honey for good quality in this area.
