Rapeseed Honey
Rapeseed Honey is one of the oldest and best-loved sweetening agents for foods and, over the centuries, it has still retained a “natural” image.
Rapeseed Honey Making
Most honey is produced by two species of bee, namely Apis mellifera (the so-called honey bee).
The extraction of the Rapeseed Honey
Extraction of the honey from the combs at the end of the season involves breaking the wax seal and removing the honey by centrifugation. The honey is then strained and, in some cases, filtered and heated to eliminate yeasts that could cause spoilage. Once bottled, some products can be prone to hardening due to the crystallization of the sugars.
Consequently
Control of crystallization depends on keeping the glucose to water ratio in the region of 1.50-1.75, for it is this ratio that governs the extent and rate of the process. If this aspect can be controlled, then honey should remain a viscous, fluid material during ambient temperature storage.
Technical parameters
liquefied, homogenized, purified
Packing
Metal Drums of a 290 – 295kg net.
