Honey from Galicia, physic-chemical characteristics:

•       Moisture ≤ 18,5%. The water content in the honey is one of the quality indicator that determine the possibility of the honey to remain fresh and avoid spoilage by fermentation.

•       Diastase activity ≥ 9 Ghote/Schade scale. The diastase facilitate conversion of starch to maltose, that is add by the bees during honey process. Although natural levels change in the honey depending on floral source, the reduction of diastase in relation to what should be is a quality indicator.

•       HMF (Hydroxymethylfurfural): ≤ 28 mg/Kg. In the hive, the honey normally be below 1mg/kg but the level soon start to rise with ambient temperature above 20ºC. It is common for HMF to be below 10mg/kg in fresh extracted honey. Levels higher tan this indicate excessive heat during the extraction process. The international standards of Quality requires that the HMF found in honey does not exceed 40 mg / Kg.
