Abstract :
Honey is a natural product known to man since ancient time. It can be preserved for a long time with out adding any preservatives. Its food and medicinal value made it unique among all natural products. It is a colloidal suspension of nearly 300 different compounds. This wonderful tasty product synthesized by honey bees by collecting nectar of various flowers. Honey is acidic in nature. No major change reported in pH even after storage for prolonged periods. Honey is acidic in nature. Acidity of honey results from the presence of Organic Acids. Many acids have been reported to be present in honey. Acidity of honey may be expressed as free acids, lactone acids or tabal acids which account for less than 0.5 g of solids. This small quantity of acids contributes to the flavour and tart taste to the honey and also responsible in part for the stability of honey against Micro Organisms. Total acidity of 3 different multiifloral honeys are studied. These honeys were collected or procured in different seasons from different areas of East Godavari District, A.P., India.
