The honey sample first undergoes a chemical reaction with the specific reagent pre-set in the instrument, generating visible colored products. The depth of the color is directly proportional to the concentration of the target components in honey, such as water, sugar or HMF, etc. The sample after the reaction is transmitted into the optical measurement module through the colorimetric cell or colorimetric cup. The honey tester measures the absorbance or transmittance and then calculates the specific concentration in combination with the preset standard curve. The colorimetric principle enables honey tester to quickly and intuitively quantitatively or semi-quantitatively analyze the key indicators of honey. It is easy to operate, reliable in results and avoids the complex manual chemical analysis steps at the same time.

The quality of honey is closely related to its moisture content. Excessive moisture can cause fermentation, sourness and mold, shorten the shelf life and change the taste. Low moisture may affect the fluidity and processing performance of honey. Traditional moisture detection methods are usually time-consuming, require strict experimental environments and cannot provide quick results on-site. This is particularly inconvenient in processes that need immediate judgment. Honey tester uses chemical colorimetric reactions combined with high-precision optical measurement, along with technologies such as photometric detection technology and multi-wavelength analysis system, enabling moisture measurement to retain laboratory-level accuracy while achieving second-level readings on-site. Due to its portability and digital output, honey moisture tester can directly provide comparable numerical results, maintaining the consistency and traceability of detection methods in different detection scenarios.

Special reagents react with target components in honey to produce a color change with intensity proportional to the concentration, enabling rapid quantitative or semi-quantitative analysis.

The honey tester adopts advanced photometric detection technology, using high-precision optical sensors such as photodiodes to measure light absorbance passing through the reaction solution.

This performs simultaneous or sequential measurements at multiple spectral bands. By analyzing absorbance values across various wavelengths, the tester can accurately distinguish target compounds.

The internal microprocessor unit can analyze the detection signals in real time, automatically complete zero-point calibration and data correction, reduce errors caused by manual intervention and improve the consistency of repeated detection.

Honey tester is equipped with multi-channel detection system, which can simultaneously test multiple honey samples or conduct multi-point data comparisons. They are particularly suitable for using in honey processing plants.

Equipped with a high-brightness screen, the test results of honey moisture tester are presented in digital form intuitively. The operation is simple and the measurement can be completed quickly without professional training.

By adopting an instant optical measurement system, the detection results can be obtained in just a few minutes, significantly improving detection speed and working efficiency.

Through the integration of a stable light source and precision photometric detection algorithm, honey moisture tester minimizes the influence of ambient light and temperature variations, reflecting the true color intensity of the sample.

Honey tester is equipped with automatic calibration and intelligent guidance functions. Users only need to add the reagent and the honey sample, then press the detection button to complete the entire process.

The multi-channel detection design supports parallel detection of multiple samples, improving analysis efficiency. It is suitable for batch detection scenarios in processing plants and quality inspection institutions.

The test results can be digitally stored, exported or uploaded to computers and mobile devices, facilitating traceability and report generation.

Whether it is single-flower honey,multi-flower honey or special honey, honey tester intelligently adjusts its detection algorithm based on the chemical composition and color response characteristics of different honey types.

Fermented honey often shows bubbles, foam or separation. When shaking the honey, you may see small bubbles rising. Unlike the pleasant floral aroma of fresh honey, it gives off a slightly alcoholic or sour smell. The taste also becomes sour and sharp, rather than sweet and smooth.

Testing honey for purity is important to ensure quality, safety and authenticity. Pure honey should contain only natural sugars, enzymes and nutrients produced by bees. However, some commercial products are adulterated with sugar syrup, corn syrup to increase volume and reduce cost.

Pure honey does not truly expire if stored properly because of its low water content and natural acidity, which inhibit bacterial growth. Over time, it may crystallize or darken, but these changes are natural and do not mean it has gone bad. Proper storage in a sealed container helps maintain its quality indefinitely.

The color of original honey varies depending on the floral source, generally ranging from light yellow to deep amber, with some types leaning toward orange or reddish-brown. It should appear naturally clear and transparent, which also reflects its freshness and minimal processing.

Pure honey has multiple benefits. It can quickly replenish energy, gently nourish the stomach and intestines, relieve coughing and throat discomfort. At the same time, it is rich in natural antioxidants and enzymes, which are helpful for beauty care and promoting digestion.

Yes, it contains approximately 80% sugar and 18-20% water. The sugar mainly consists of glucose and fructose, with a small amount of sucrose and other sugars. The remaining 1-2% are trace components such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, organic acids and enzymes.

The moisture level of honey should usually be kept below 18% to 20% and high-quality honey is generally around 16% to 18%. Excessive moisture can make honey thin, prone to fermentation, foaming and even sour, affecting its taste and shelf life.

The tool used to measure moisture in honey is called honey tester, using a chemical colorimetric reaction, where the honey sample reacts with specific reagents to produce a color change. This is significant because it affects honey’s stability, shelf life and risk of fermentation.
