Quality improvement of manuka honey through the application of high pressure processing
The quality of honey is known to be compromised when it goes through thermal processing due to its negative impact on the unstable and thermolabile honey components which originated from the nectar and bees themselves. This present work is undertaken to access the use of an emerging food …

Investigating the Anti-inflammatory Activity of Honey
Honey has various bioactivities with health-benefiting properties. It has been registered for use in wound dressings but before it can be registered with regulatory authorities for sale with claims for therapeutic actions the components responsible for these bioactivities must be identified to …

The effects of honey on the inflammatory response of cells with respect to wound healing
… thesis was to test the effect of two types of honey, a manuka honey and an Otago pasture honey, on a range of key cell types involved in the inflammatory response of wound healing. A range of in vitro assays were used to test the effect of honey on various cells with a view to the implications …

Investigation of biofilm development by antibiotic resistant urinary tract infection pathogens and evaluation of antimicrobial activity of Manuka honey on Escherichia coli CTX-M-15 biofilms
… in this study. The antivirulence efficacy of Manuka honey as an alternative treatment was analysed for this strain. Method Biofilm formation was measured using the Tissue Culture plate method at different times: after 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours of incubation. Assuming that times correlated with …

Investigation of Biofilm Development by Antibiotic Resistant Urinary Tract Infection Pathogens and Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Activity of Natural Products on Carbapenem-Resistant Escherichia coli IMP and Klebsiella pneumoniae NDM-1.
… and to assess the anti-virulence effect of Manuka honey and garlic extract on the expression of eight virulence genes in each strain. To that end, structural changes during biofilm development and the impact of antimicrobial before and after treatment were assessed via confocal laser …

A CONTRIBUTION TO THE STUDY OF BIOCONTROL AGENTS APITHERAPY AND OTHER POTENTIAL ALTERNATIVES TO ANTIBIOTICS
… antibacterial activity of Leptospermum scoparium Manuka honey was further investigated. It was shown that this activity is unlikely to be due to accumulated residual hydrogen peroxide and the microflora of bees and honey probably act as a source of any non–hydrogen peroxide inhibitory components. …

Indicators of bioactivity and floral origin of New Zealand honeys
… No prior analysis of NIR for New Zealand honeys has been reported. A visual inspection of the NIR spectra of ten New Zealand honey types indicates that beech honeydew honey is significantly different from nectar honeys. Rata honey is the most unique nectar honey with very little …

A chemical investigation of some New Zealand honeys
… solutions of various floral types of New Zealand honeys with the use of a continuous liquid/liquid extractor. The components of the extracts were methylated before being separated and identified by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. When a component could not be identified in this way, bulk …

Development of Bioassays Based on Nucleic Acid Amplification and Next-Generation Sequencing
Adulteration and mis-labeling of honey to mask its true origin have become a global concern. Pollen microscopy, the current gold standard for identifying the geographical origins of honey, is very laborious and requires extensive training. In addition, filtered honey cannot be identified by pollen …

Argininderivatisierung und 1,2-Dicarbonylverbindungen in Lebensmitteln
… untersucht. Hier stellten die neuseeländischen Manuka-Honige (Manuka: Leptospermum scoparium, Teebaum) den Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung dar. Für die untersuchten Manuka-Honige konnten ungewöhnlich hohe Gehalte an Methylglyoxal bestimmt werden (von 347 bis 743 mg/ kg). Von 12 verschiedenen …

The factors responsible for the varying levels of UMF® in mānuka (Leptospermum scoparium) honey
… antibacterial component (UMF®) of mānuka honey produced in New Zealand was studied. A field analysis confirmed considerable variability existed in the honeys, and a number of hypotheses to explain this variability were proposed and examined. Nectar derived from Leptospermum scoparium …

Kinetics of Conversion of Dihydroxyacetone to Methylglyoxal in Honey
Mānuka honey contains a unique non-peroxide antibacterial activity which is highly sought after due to the perceived health benefits. Methylglyoxal (MGO) is the compound predominately responsible for this non-peroxide activity (NPA). Varying levels of dihydroxyacetone (DHA) are found in mānuka …
