n recent years, fake honey has increasingly made its way into the European market — and the numbers are alarming. A recent inspection by the Active Consumers organization revealed that 5 out of 10 tested honey brands failed to meet basic quality standards. These include:
Water content: Must be below 20%
Electrical conductivity: Should not exceed 0.8 mS/cm
Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF): No more than 40 mg/kg
Diastase activity: At least 8 Gote units
Proline content: No less than 180 mg/kg
