Honey is a fluid made from nectar collected by bees, this nectar goes through two processes a physical and another chemical until it is called honey, which has a high content of sugars and low moisture content, but several factors can cause change in the quality of honey. Considering possible adulterations in these products, interfering in the quality of the same, this work was developed. The physicochemical quality of honeys, with and without registration, marketed in the municipality of Castro-PR, was evaluated. In order to perform the physical-chemical analysis (total acidity (free and lactonic), reducing sugars, apparent sucrose, moisture, Lund and Fiehe reactions), nine samples were collected at commercial points and street vendors. six without the seal of inspection. Based on the parameters of moisture, total acidity, reducing sugars, apparent sucrose, moisture, lund and fiehe reaction presented by Regulatory Instruction No. 11 of October 20, 2000 (MAPA) and indicated by the Instituto Adolfo Lutz (2008) it was observed that all samples had at least one of these parameters unsatisfactory values. This shows that there are several failures in the processing of honey, from the harvesting part to the commercialization, not only in the samples that do not have a seal, but also in the samples that were regular in terms of inspection. These results may indicate that there is a lack of education work for honey producers in the municipality, so that they improve the processing of this product, reaching higher quality. |
