Abstract
Honey is the thick (opoque) viscous liquid produced by honey bees from the nectars of flowers. It is used in breakfast to retain energy in daily life Honeys nutritional value is determined by the amount of glucose & minerals present in honey.It is dependant on the season of honey.The physico-chemical features of honey may be used to determine overall quality of the product. The physico-chemical characteristics of wild honey sample Collected from Sangamner Taluka of Maharastra State are investigated in the current research to determine overall quality of honey. Honey samples from to villages in the Sangamner Taluka were used in investigation .The moisture content ,ash content, PH ,colour intensity, electrical conductivity,Viscosity , specific gravity, glucose, sucrose, Fructose & total protein content. of the collected samples were all determined by using various methods.Those honeys with low moisture content, high glucose content& high mineral content have a high calorific value have longer shelf life than others. The findings of the research indicates that the wild honey samples collected are of high quality & which is gives high nutritional content. The outcome of this research the nutritious benefits of honey in the daily diet & suggest that it might be utilized as a source of extra income for farmers.
Keywords: Honey, physical properties, chemical propertie Quality, Glucose.
