pure and fake honey now difficult to identify. The fake honey now have similarity with pure honey when it detected. Some brand who said that it's pure with high price but actually we found it fake too. How to identify?

Hopefully somebody can give us an answer to that question, because this is a very serious subject.

Hi honey !! here :

1. Ants don't like pure honey. if your honey crowded by these animal.. so, it is fake. already added water and some sugar. of course real honey is sweeter than sugar. (so it better to call your mate honey rather than sugar )
2. You can tell a honey from its thickness. it has high viscosity, doesn't change its form easily as water do.
3. Honey has a density of about 1.36 kg/liter (40% denser than water) it won't go trough fabrics membrane. unless with high pressure. this method is for filtering.
4. The pH of honey is commonly between 3.2 and 4.5.This relatively acidic pH level prevents the growth of many bacteria. test it with lacmus paper.
5. Honey has specific taste, aroma and color (for pure honey).
6. Pure Honey is more expensive

Replying to [BUMshells]:I agree with point 2,3,4,5 need extra tools to detect the pure honey. But the point 1 and 6 are not relevant anymore now. The expensive one, doesn't mean is pure 100%, I ever bought the expensive but the ants still surrounding the honey. People said that now ants like the pure honey too

Replying to [mall1234]:dear friend poeple will loose trust from your product. This is not the right medium to add your company.

Something wrong about Pure Honey:
1- Ants don’t like pure honey!!!!! It is not true they like it but when the Ant want to eat they can’t use (because of concentration)
2- Thickness is not important because you can see in forest Honey has less thickness but is pure
3- Sugar content can be vary from 0 to 15 and all is pure

4- pH of Honey can be control by chemicals and is not indentical factors.

I want to suggest you a experiment
Try to put honey in cup of glass water and look at this how coming down.
If your honey distribute inside water it is not pure and if this is not but compressing gathering the same place and has very strong texture is not pure.
But if your honey can come down smooth without distributing inside water and texture is soft and smooth your honey is pure
Next post next way to find purity without chemical test.

Replying to [kausar]:Thank you for your advice, I will try it at home. We found in the market some honey is expensive but is not pure honey ( ants still surrounding) but the taste is like pure honey.Anyway look forward for another advice especially without chemical test.

Replying to [davindo]:Ibu,

Just do simple tests:

1. Cotton bud dip into the honey, and use a matchstick to burn. If it is easy to burn, then it is pure honey MADU ASLI. If it is hard to burn and if your fire is lighter, burning will have some cracking, which indicates some presence of water with syrup.

2. Take a teas of honey, pour it into a transparent gl *. If it dissolves in water easily, then it is not pure honey. Honey forms lumps in the water.
