[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 analysisNote
PolarisationCovers 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 analysisNote
Polarisation Typical analysis for refined white sugar according
to the Specified Sugar Products (England) Regulations 2003 (SI 2003 No. 1563)
Invert Sugar content
