Authenticity is the essence of honey’s quality — trust in precise analysis 🐝 🍯
Spotted in Greece
The diastase number is a key indicator of honey authenticity and quality. This natural enzyme, scientifically known as α-amylase, reflects how gently the honey has been processed and stored. Using photometric measurement, diastase activity can be precisely determined by monitoring the enzymatic breakdown of a chromogenic starch substrate. The result, expressed in Schade units (DN), reveals whether the honey maintains its natural enzyme content and meets international quality standards. Reliable, fast, and accurate, photometric analysis of diastase activity helps laboratories and honey producers ensure product integrity and confirm the authenticity of real, high-quality honey.
