Applications and Benefits:
The digital colorimeter is essential for the evaluation of monofloral honeys in buying and selling operations, ensuring that the color of the honey is within the commercially accepted range according to its botanical origin. Natural honey presents a wide range of colors depending on the flowers from which it originates. This device allows verifying that the honey labeled as monofloral complies with the organoleptic, physicochemical, and microscopic characteristics specified by the Honey Standard, ensuring transparency and confidence in the product labeling.
Importance of Honey Color:
The color of honey is a critical factor linked to its botanical origin. Honeys from acacia or orange blossom, for example, are expected to be extremely clear, while honeys from heather or oak honeydew are darker. This photometer ensures that monofloral honeys are correctly labeled, providing confidence to both producers and consumers.
The Hanna® Honey Color Photometer is an indispensable tool for beekeepers and laboratories seeking precision and efficiency in evaluating honey color, facilitating compliance with regulations and improving the quality of the final product.
