The Enzymatic Role in Honey from Honey Bees and Stingless Bees

Current Organic Chemistry, 2023
Abstract: A variety of biomolecules known as enzymes are found in honey and originated from bees and plant nectars. The plant yields nectar that aids bees in producing honey. Diastases, invertases, glucosidases, glucose oxidases and proteases are the common enzymes present in honey and highly sensitive toward UV-vis light, heat, and microwave energy ...

Stingless Bees and Honey Bees of West Sumatra, Indonesia

2022
This chapter summarizes the works on Sumatran bees from three research periods: between 1980-1987 on several locations in West Sumatra, 1990 at Kerinci Seblat National Park, and between 2019-2020 at some beekeepers in West Sumatra. In total, there were 27 stingless bee species, one stingless bee forma (Tetragonula minangkabau forma darek), and three ...

Addressing the unfulfilled codex standard for honey for stingless bee honey through lyophilization

Isotopes in Environmental and Health Studies, 2022
Some studies have found that the nutritional values of stingless bee honey (SBH) may be similar if not more than normal honey, prompting the Malaysian government to promote it as a superfood. However, SBH does not fulfil the Codex Standard for Honey (CODEX STAN 12-19811) in terms of moisture content and the lack of protein to be analysed with Internal ...
