Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of various honeys originating from different sources, and to identify factors potentially useful for distinguishing the honey sources. The sugar composition, moisture content and total acidity of twenty six honey samples were analyzed. The moisture contents were lowest in honeys from Acacia and were not greatly different with regard to honey sources. Fructose content was highest, followed by glucose, sucrose and maltose in all kinds of honey. Sugar composition did not show any reliable criterion useful for identifying the sources of honey samples. The fructose/glucose ratio did not differ among samples, however the ratios in honeys from Acacia and Chestnut were higher than honey from poly floral sources. The total acidity of honeys ranged 10.30-12.45 meq/kg regard-less of the source, thus acidity is not a useful criterion for identifying the honey source.

밀원에 따른 다양한 꿀의 품질특성과 이들에 의한 밀원 판정의 가능성을 조사하기 위하여 아카시아 꿀 7개, 잡화 꿀 9개, 밤꿀 5개, 토종 꿀 5개, 총 26개의 시료를 이용하여 꿀의 당, 수분함량, 총 산도, fructose/glucose ratio 등을 조사하였다. 꿀의 수분 함량은 아카시아 꿀이 가장 낮았으나, 밀원에 따른 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 당 조성 중 fructose의 함량이 가장 높았으며, glucose, sucrose, maltose의 순으로 높았다. 당 성분으로 밀원에 따른 차이가 나타내지 않았다. Fructose/glucose ratio도 현저한 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, 아카시아 꿀과 밤 꿀의 fructose/glucose ratio가 잡화 꿀에 비해 높았다. 꿀의 총 산도는 밀원의 종류에 상관없이 10.30-12.45 meq/kg이었으며, 밀원에 따른 꿀의 구별에 관한 기준은 되지 못하였다.
