The effect on the quality of bee honey when feeding the bees on inverted with confectionary invertase sugar syrup
Dinko Dinkov, Veselin Ivanov
Abstract: The study was carried out on the effects of using sugar syrup inverted with commercially available confectionery invertase as a supplement bee feed on the quality of bee honey. The results revealed an increased level of absorption; an increased level of HMF (2-hydroxymethyl-2-fufuraldehide), as well as high levels of Cu. The blue colour, which was revealed when adding Carraz I (K4Fe(CN)6.3H2O) and Carraz II (Zn(CH3COO)2.2H2O) solutions was associated with high levels of Fe, contained in the beet sugar syrup, inverted with confectionery invertase.
