Public food — honey

Technology report () message: concept

Honey is the bee's main products are the bees collect from plants to the nectar nectary, brought back to the hive after bee hive in the preparation of a sweet taste of viscous liquid, is a nutrient-rich natural food and medical supplies.

To date, check out the material more than 180. The main ingredients are glucose and fructose, Monosaccharides (75%), it is easy to be absorbed by the human body. It also contains human cells, tissues, and organs need all the nutrients, can produce large amounts of heat and does not contain fat, is a tonic and natural medicine. On the elderly, children, mothers and disease is especially suitable when the an infirm.

II how honey is made of

How do bees collect nectar and honey brewing as? the saying goes: the flowers are honey. Let's start by talking about plant flowers. In nature, about 85% of the plants is the insect pollination, bee and the best experts in pollination. Plants to attract pollinating insects to come to the Flower corolla secretion transparent small drops of water, sweet, this is the nectar. Bees gather nectar, naturally to grant the powder plant.

When Scout bee found honey, fly back to the hive, the information collected by the bees dance tells the bee. Acquisition of honey bee straight to fly to spend at its beak to spend on a case-by-within nectary flower-flower draw nectar and honey nectar temporary storage in the SAC. Honey nectar-reservoir in full, acquisition will fly back to the hive-bee, Bee Nectar to the back office, or directly into empty nest in the room. In this process, the acquisition of bee has salivary gland secretion of Invertase mixed with honey, make nectar began evolving from sucrose sugar or glucose results. After brewing the bees continue to join Invertase and evaporation of moisture, dozens of hours of transformation condensed, nectar become tasty honey, is stored in the edge spleen empty nest rooms or spleen corner empty nest in the room, and a wax seal.

The bees make honey preparation honey, its process mainly through two changes.

(1) sugar Chemistry: bees will own saliva of enzyme out and nectar to produce hybrid, hydrolysis, the nectar of monosaccharide, disaccharide becomes that of sucrose in the nectar of hydrolysis into glucose and fructose.

(2) physical changes: after evaporation of the water from the average content of 60%-65% to 17%-25%.

Three sources of honey

Nectar from plants of nectaries are plants from the soil absorption of nutrients and photosynthesis, except those that meet its growth and development, the extra storage in plants, flowering, some nutrients are transported to the floral, part into sugar juice, stored in a nectary cells, another part is used to form the fruits and seeds. Nectary cells are rich in nutrients, in appropriate circumstances, through in vitro skin secretion into the nectaries of nectar. Nectar of the main components are sugar and water, glucose, fructose, vitamins, amino acids, proteins, etc.

A bee collecting nectar, each nest collection once 20-40 minutes, stop in the nest approximately 4 minutes again attendance, stream honey flourishing period day attendance 10-24. Each bee collecting nectar jealous when inhaled honey SAC, each acquisition in General is 40-60 mg, 80 mg, highest Basic equivalent to its weight. 1 kg of honey each brewing require tens of thousands of flight only time and millions of millions, and even interviews with flower, visible bees honey toil.

Acquisition of bee in back to the nectar, honeydew honey has in the bag in the secretion of bee-converting enzyme by begins processing. Back to the nest and then put the honey and spit to the back office to bee or own a few nests in-room, back office, back office processing bee continue in processing and secretion Invertase mixed with honey, while inside some of the bee is strengthening the stack, evaporation of water, promote honey soon enriched and honey storage room in the nest, through constant secretion Invertase and stack, when honey mature storage full nest rooms, bees wax will again with honey room sealed cover, this is done from the nectar of ripe honey.

4 classification of honey

To enable people to understand and master the honey varieties and specifications, characteristics, quality and bad, to facilitate processing production, Commerce, transport, storage, and so do the different classifications.
