composition of stingless bee honey is different to that of European bee honey, no rigorous identification of the major components and potential therapeutically active compounds has been reported. In addition to the importance of identifying the potential therapeutic components of stingless bee honey, the...
Honey standardStingless bee honey (SBH) of four stingless bee species (Heterotrigona itama, Geniotrigona thoracica, Tetragonula carbonaria, andTetragonula hockingsi)from two geographic regions (Malaysia and Australia, n=36) were studied for their physicochemical parameters, including total phenolic and...
In the natural world, honey contains only a minimal amount of trehalulose. Because trehalulose is a non-crystalline saccharide which readily dissolves in water, does not substantially have cariogenicity, and has an about 40% sweetening power of sucrose, it is greatly expected to be used in ...
honeydewlongevityNasoniawhiteflyInsects, particularly phloem-feeding Sternorrhyncha, are known to produce sugars in their honeydew (excreta) that are not found in their host plants. Of these, Bemisia tabaci , the sweet potato whitefly, is the only insect known to produce trehalulose [伪- d -...
The method has been validated for its specificity, linearity, sensitivity, precision, accuracy, repeatability and robustness following the International Council for Harmonisation Q2 (R1), and it has been successfully applied in the determination of trehalulose in stingless bee honey.Mariana Mello dos ...
HoneyFor efficient industrial production of trehalulose, we conducted an industrialization test using immobilized cells of the high-trehalulose producing bacteria, Pseudomonas mesoacidophila MX-45. Immobilized cells were prepared as follows; cells were concentrated from culture, granulated with calcium ...
