Constant-temperature honey refining method

Abstract

The invention discloses a constant-temperature honey refining method. The constant-temperature honey refining method comprises the specific steps that raw honey which is not refined is put into a constant-temperature oil-bath tank, under stirring, the honey-refining temperature is controlled to be 125 DEG C, the constant temperature is kept for 2.5 hours, foams are removed, and refined honey is obtained. The preparation method with the new honey refining process is built, the new process that the honey is refined through oil bath can control temperature and time, compared with a traditional process for heating with direct fire, heating is uniform, it is not required that stirring is manually conducted continuously, and electric energy is adopted as an energy source, which is clean and safe; the quality of the refined honey is assessed with the browning degree, the total reducing capacity, bound water and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural as indexes for the first time, a basis is provided for unifying the honey refining process, and the practical application value is very high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for refining honey at a constant temperature. Background technique [0002] Honey is a natural sweet substance that bees collect nectar, secretion or honeydew from plants, combine with their own secretions, and fully brew. The main components are fructose and glucose, and it also contains maltose, sucrose, lactose, water and others. Trace components (such as proteins, amino acids, organic acids, vitamins, flavonoids, etc.) are a natural health food, and an important auxiliary material for Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine processing. After honey is heated and refined, its physical and chemical properties will change dramatically, and some chemical components will also change, and new substances will be formed. [0003] Refined honey is the product obtained by heating honey. There have been records of refining honey since the Eastern Han Dynasty. The refining of honey was mentioned for the first time in "Treatise o...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

If the refining is not done properly, or the honey that is refined too high is used, the quality of the honey-roasted decoction pieces will be affected, thereby affecting the curative effect of the medicine.

At present, the 2015 edition of "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" and the current processing regulations of Chinese herbal medicines in various provinces and cities have not clearly stipulated the specific honey refining process. The honey refining process is not uniform, and there is no unified standard for honey refining. actual production application

The most commonly used standard for judging honey refining by those skilled in the art is that the main components of honey are fructose and glucose, but the two indicators of fructose and glucose cannot judge honey refining from the outside, which lacks practical application value

The current honey refining technology is the traditional direct fire heating honey refining, but this method has the problem of uncontrollable temperature
