| description | In Malaysia, commercial stingless bee honey is in demand due to its nutritional and healing properties, especially in the
cosmetic, food and beverage and pharmaceutical industry. However, up to date, these honey products from various districts
of Kelantan were not subjected to compliance according to the specification of the Malaysian Standard (MS) 2683:2017.
Thus, the objective of the current study was to determine the compliance of selected stingless bee honey (SBH) in Kelantan
based upon physicochemical properties and microbiological analysis following MS 2683:2017 specifications. Physicochemical
analysis of commercial stingless be honey shows the value of moisture, ash, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and pH were
in the range of 27.05 ± 1.39 to 32.61 ± 2.79 %, 0.08 ± 0.01 to 0.14 ± 0.01 g, 8.78 ± 0.92 to 218.66 ± 0.70 mg/kg and
2.34 ± 0.01 to 3.22 ± 0.02, respectively. There was an absence of total coliform in all samples. In summary, all samples of
stingless bee honey complied with MS 2683:2017 specification for physicochemical properties and microbial contaminant
limits of total plate count (TPC) and total coliform. However, for the microbial contaminant limit of yeast and mold, only
sample 6 was contaminated. |
