Honey is the special gold of bees: a sweet, viscous, viscous liquid that bees produce from flower nectar. But few people know that now many dishonest sellers have learned how to make artificial honey, which we, buyers, unfortunately, buy under the guise of "real bee gold".
It is necessary
- -slice of bread;
- -paper;
- -indelible pencil;
- -drops of iodine;
- -water;
- -lighter / matches;
- - acetic essence.
Instructions
Step 1
There is no water in real honey. Dip a slice of bread in honey for 8-10 minutes. If the bread has softened, then it is sugar syrup. And if hardened, then this is real, undiluted honey.
Step 2
Spread honey on a piece of paper. On a strip of honey, write something with a chemical pencil. The appearing blue inscription indicates that there is moisture in the honey.
Step 3
Add a drop of iodine to a small amount of honey diluted with water. Has the solution turned blue? Here is honey with starch and flour!
Step 4
Dissolve honey in water in a 1: 2 ratio. If the solution turns out to be cloudy, and after a while a precipitate falls out, then this is fake honey.
Step 5
Dissolve honey in water (1: 2). Add some vinegar essence. If the solution sizzles, then chalk has been added to the honey.
Step 6
Put some honey on a clean sheet of paper and set it on fire. Real honey will not melt or burn in a fire. If honey is charred, it is made from sugar. If it becomes liquid, then it has been diluted with water.
