THEORY
Honey, thick, sweet, super
saturated sugar solution
manufactured by bees to feed their
larvae and for the subsistence
during winter.
Bee honey is composed of
fructose, Glucose and water, in
varying proportions. It also contains
several enzymes and oils. The color
& flavor depends on the age of the
honey and the sources of the nectar
.It colored honeys are usually of
higher quality than dark coloured
honeys. Other high grade honeys
are made by bees from orange
blossoms, clover and Alfalfa.

PROCEDURE:-
TEST FOR MINERALS:-
TEST FOR
CARBOHYDRATES
1. Fehling’s test :
2mL of honey is taken in a test
tube and 1mL each of Fehling`s
solution A and Fehling`s solution B
are added to it and boiled. Red
precipitate indicates the presence of
reducing sugars.
2. Tollen’s test:
2-3 mL of aqueous solution of honey is
taken in a test tube. 2-3mL of Tollen`s
reagent is added. The test tube is
kept in a boiling water bath for about
ten minutes. A shining silver mirror
indicates the presence of reducing
carbohydrates„
