Manuka honey is renowned for its bioactive compounds and antibacterial properties. One of the key measurements to differentiate Manuka honey from regular honey is the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) rating. This rating reflects the concentration of methylglyoxal (MGO), leptosperin, and dihydroxyacetone – compounds found at high concentrations only in Manuka honey. Higher UMF ratings indicate more potent antibacterial effects, a quality not quantified in regular honey.
3. Nutritional Content Comparison:
Both honeys contain glucose, fructose, and numerous vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, but the extent and variety can vary significantly:
- Regular Honey: A good source of antioxidants with trace amounts of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, calcium, and iron.
- Manuka Honey: Typically more potent in its antibacterial and antioxidant capacity, it also can contain higher vitamin and mineral content, depending on the UMF rating.
The higher therapeutic attributes of Manuka honey often influence its recognition as a premium product when compared to regular honey.
