Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey. With its unique scent and taste, obtained from the nectar and pollen collected from the flowers of the Anise Plant in June in our Burdur region, we present Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey, which has a special place in the Köycegiz Honey Special Flavors section, to you, flavor enthusiasts. Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey, with its unique color, taste, and scent Processed honey goes through a process where it is heated, then cooled, and its pollen is removed through filtration. This process is normally performed to prevent honey from crystallizing and makes it a clear, homogeneous color. However, high temperatures kill most of the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and amino acids, causing it to lose its healthy properties. Therefore, it is natural for Köycegiz Honey and Anise Honey to crystallize. Köycegiz Honey and Anise Honey, in its most natural state in the hive, is just a click away. Our Analysis Certificates are collected from honey samples collected during the milking period thanks to the diligence of our bees and the great dedication of our beekeepers. All of our honey is analyzed regularly at accredited universities (Hacettepe University, Mugla University) under the supervision of Turkey's leading professors specialized in the field of honey. All of our purity analyses, conducted based on the Turkish Food Codex Honey Communiqué, are available next to the products. If we consider these parameters in honey separately Proline value is an amino acid found in dominant proportion in Köycegiz Honey and Anise Honey. Its amount is the quality criterion of Köycegiz Honey and Anise Honey. A high or low proline value is an indicator of whether the bees have collected nectar from nature during the Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey production period. According to the Turkish Food Codex Honey Communiqué, the Proline value required for our Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey is at least 300mg kg. Accordingly the ratio in our Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey is 1013.88mg kg. Diastase value is the most abundant enzyme in our Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey. This enzyme is produced by bees by secreting it from their stomachs during the ripening of the Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey and transfers it to the Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey. The value of this enzyme indicates whether the Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey has been heat treated. According to the Turkish Food Codex Honey Communiqué, the Diastase value must be at least "8". Accordingly the value in our Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey is "10.83". The moisture content of Köycegiz Honey and Anise Honey indicates the amount of water. It plays a significant role in determining the maturity and shelf life of Köycegiz Honey and Anise Honey. When the bees place Köycegiz Honey and Anise Honey in the honeycomb cells, the moisture content is approximately 0-35 . Bees reduce this moisture content below 0 by balancing the hive temperature and beating their wings. A moisture content above 0 indicates that Köycegiz Honey and Anise Honey was harvested early by beekeepers. The maximum moisture value according to the Turkish Food Codex Honey Communiqué is 0 . This value is 0 for Köycegiz Honey and Anise Honey. Electrical conductivity is measured to determine the mineral and acid content of Köycegiz Honey and Anise Honey. The electrical conductivity of Köycegiz Anise Honey can vary depending on the amount of organic acids, minerals, and proteins present, and this determines whether Köycegiz Anise Honey is secretory or flower honey. According to the Turkish Food Codex Honey Communiqué, the electrical conductivity of flower honey must be at most 0.8 mS cm. The electrical conductivity of our Köycegiz Anise Honey is 0.44 mS cm. Free acidity and pH are the primary elements determined by the amount of organic acids, minerals, protein, and carbohydrates present in Köycegiz Anise Honey. This process plays a significant role in the fermentation of Köycegiz Anise Honey and the determination of its secretory quality. The acids found in Köycegiz Anise Honey not only affect the taste and flavor of Köycegiz Anise Honey but also inhibit the growth of microorganisms in Köycegiz Anise Honey. According to the Turkish Food Codex Honey Communiqué, the free acidity value in Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey must be a maximum of 50meq kg. The free acidity value of our Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey is 25.71meq kg. Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is the HMF ratio in Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey. The amount of HMF increases under the influence of parameters such as heat treatment of Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey and long-term storage under poor conditions. HMF is formed by the condensation of the carbonyl groups of reducing sugars in Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey with the amine groups of amino acids and proteins. The HMF value is an indicator of the freshness of Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey. According to the Turkish Food Codex Honey Communiqué, the HMF ratio in Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey must be a maximum of 40mg kg. The HMF ratio in Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey is "13.05". C4 and Delta C13 values in Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey C13 analysis in Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey is the most common method used for the proof of cane sugar, corn-based sugar and glucose-based sugar. By considering the different photosynthetic cycles of plants, it provides information about whether Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey has been adulterated or not, based on the ratio between isotope atoms in Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey and honey protein. According to the Turkish Food Codex Honey Communiqué, the C4 sugar ratio in Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey as a result of the process between C13 honey and protein fractions should be at most 7 . The C4 sugar ratio in Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey is 0.00 . Sugar profile analysis in Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey Since Köycegiz Honey Anise Honey is a carbohydrate food, its dry matter ratio is approximately -99. 95 of this is composed of Fructose and Glucose. These 2 monosaccharides, which give Köycegiz Anise Honey its flavor, are formed as a result of the inversion of sucrose, which is found in the nectar of plants or in the secretions of insects living on plants, by the invertase enzyme. According to the Turkish Food Codex Honey Communiqué, the sugar profile amount and ratio in Flower Honeys is at least 60g per 100g and the Fructose Glucose ratio is between 0.9 and 1.4. In our Köycegiz Anise Honey, Fructose Glucose is 63.48 and the ratio is 1.55. There should be no sucrose in honey. The bee inverts all of the nectar it collects and breaks it down into Fructose and Glucose until no sucrose remains. The presence of sucrose in honey is an indication of adulteration. There is no sucrose in our Köycegiz Anise Honey. Pollen Analysis The honey-bearing plant species that are the source of Köycegiz Anise Honey are abundant in our country. Turkey's population varies by region and boasts a diversity of approximately 450,000 different plants. The Köycegiz region is also a significant location for pine honey. Furthermore, because our local beekeepers are nomadic, they leave their hives all over Turkey in spring. The bees then enjoy this richness of plants and produce honey. Pollen analyses performed on these milked honeys provide useful information for determining their geographic and floral origins. Pollen analysis determines the local nectar-bearing plants, the naming of Köycegiz Anise Honey, and the quality and yield of our Köycegiz Anise Honey. Phenolic and Antioxidant Analysis in Köycegiz Anise Honey: Antioxidants are compounds that prevent the formation of free radicals in the body, preventing cell damage. These reactions can be toxic in foods and cause health problems. In short, antioxidant activity can reduce oxidative reactions in the body. Köycegiz Anise Honey is known to be rich in enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants. Köycegiz Anise Honey is rich in antioxidant compounds such as flavonoids and phenolic acids, as well as tocopherols, alkaloids, and ascorbic acid. The color of Köycegiz Anise Honey generally depends on the carotenoids and flavonoids it contains. Dark-colored honeys have a high antioxidant content. In short, honey is a food rich in antioxidants and can vary depending on the region and season. The phenolic compound content in Köycegiz Anise Honey is 1302.54 mgGAE kg.
