The Influence of the Vacuum drying method on the physicochemical properties of Stingless bee Honey
Keywords:
Honey stingless bee, Physicochemical properties, Vacuum drying methodAbstract
Purpose: The aim of this research was to preliminary study the influence of the reducing moisture method on the physicochemical properties of honey stingless bees. Research Method: By using a vacuum pump combined with a desiccator for 0, 1, 3, and 5 hours. After reducing moisture content, the honey of stingless bees was determined physicochemical properties, moisture content, pH, conductivity, Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) content, °Brix, total reducing sugar content, and color according to AOAC and International Honey Commission. Findings: The results showed that at 5 hours displayed the moisture content lower than others. Additionally, their physicochemical properties were nearly the raw honey stingless bee before reducing moisture content and accordingly to stingless bee honey standard. Originality/value: Research findings could be used in the agricultural or food industries for honey storage and quality control.
