Honey, a natural sweetener with numerous antibacterial and antiseptic properties, stands out as a highly valued and appreciated natural product. Its widespread application in various medicines, addressing conditions from wound healing to cancer treatment, underscores its significance. This study aims to conduct a physiochemical analysis of different commercially available honey brands in the market. The investigation centres on four easily accessible honey brands – Dabur, Patanjali, Zandu, and Apis Himalaya organic tattva. These brands are commonly found in local markets within the region. The analysis encompasses a qualitative examination of honey components such as k+, ca2+, mg2+ iron, and sugars like glucose and fructose. Additionally, the study measures various physical and chemical properties, including acidity, electrical conductivity, pH, surface tension, viscosity, and moisture content. To ensure accuracy, the analysis incorporates trusted preliminary examinations, including taste, colour, paper test, genetic memory test, and crystallization test. The overarching goal of this research is to uncover the key differences between the perceived ideal consumption of honey and the reality of what the public actually consumes in their day-to-day lives. Consequently, this study opens up new avenues for further exploration by providing insights into examination practices, consumption patterns, and a comprehensive spectrum of analysis.
