$[Honey - Determination of moisture by refractive index]$

Sugars and related commodities

This laboratory undertakes the analysis of raw, refined and speciality sugars, molasses, syrups, honey and other products containing sugars.

Many of the methods used are those of ICUMSA and are included in our UKAS scope.

Sugar analysis	Note
Polarisation	Covers general analysis for refined and raw sugars
Moisture (Loss on drying)
Sulphated ash
Conductivity ash
Invert Sugar content
Reducing sugars (Lane & Eynon)
Colour
Particle size determination including Mean Aperture and Coefficient of Variation
Sulphur dioxide
Water insoluble matter

White Sugar analysis	Note
Polarisation	Typical analysis for refined white sugar according to the Specified Sugar Products (England) Regulations 2003 (SI 2003 No. 1563)
Invert Sugar content
Moisture (Loss on drying)

Molasses	Note
Degree brix (from specific gravity)	Typical analysis of Molasses trade
Degree brix (from refractive index)
Reducing sugars (Munsun & Walker)
Reducing sugars (Lane & Eynon )
Solid matter (vacuum oven)
Sucrose (Jackson & Gillis IV)
Sucrose (before and after inversion)
Sulphated ash
Sulphur dioxide (Monier Williams)
Total sugars as invert

Honey	Note
Acidity	Covers UK statutory requirements for Honey (England) Regulations 2003 (SI 2003 No. 2243)
Colour Pfund grader
Dextrose
Diastase number
Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF)
Moisture (from refractive index)
Reducing sugars, as invert
Sucrose
Water insoluble matter

Other	Note
Totals sugars as Sucrose	On food & food products
Brix (from R.I.)
Moisture (vacuum oven)
Starch (Ewers method)
