Control of careless heating of honeys using HPLC and MAS techniques
Radvanová, Tereza ; Punčochářová, Lenka (referee) ; Diviš, Pavel (advisor)
Honey is a popular natural food. Liquid honey without any trace of crystalization is much more desirable. Therefore, honey undergoes heat treatment to dissolve formed crystals. Exposure to high temperetures can cause chemical changes of honey components and formation of undesirable reaction products. When honey is heated 5-hydroxymethylfurfural can be formed and activity of enzyme diastase lowers. In this bachelor thesis, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural content was analyzed by HPLC-MS and activity of enzyme diastase was determined with commercial Phadebas method followed by MAS in 11 honey samples. Analysis determined 5 honey samples with above the limit content of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and 1 sample with insufficient diastase activity. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural content in honey correlated well with diastase activity values (r = 0,612).
