This study was conducted to analyze New Zealand’s beekeeping industry and Manuka honey grading system to suggest characteristics and development plans for Korea’s honey grading system. Manuka honey in New Zealand is harvested from the Manuka tree (Leptospermum scoparium). It is known for its various bioactive properties, including antimicrobial activity and antioxidants. Since 2017, the New Zealand government has been implementing national certification and grading for all exported Manuka honey. For this purpose, compositions of Manuka honey across New Zealand have been investigated and four chemical indicators and one biological indicator have been established. Currently, Korea has been fully implementing a honey grading system since September 2023, which divides honey (acacia honey, chestnut honey, and miscellaneous honey) into 1+ grade, 1 grade, and 2 grade according to Enforcement Rules of the Livestock Act. The following seven indicators are used: carbon isotope consumption, moisture content, sugar ratio, hydroxytmethylfurfural, flavor, chromaticity, and defects, similar to Codex standards or European standards. However, details are modified to suit Korean conditions. To make the Korean honey grading system more stable, it is necessary to develop and introduce different indicators for honey functionality and honey grading system maturity. In addition, it is necessary to expand the participation of farmers in the honey grading system, secure consumer trust in the honey grading system, and continue to promote it.

국내 생산 감로꿀의 기능성 식품 소재로 활용하기 위하여 DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl)와 ABTS [2,2-azobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline- 6-sulfonate)] 라디칼 소거능, FRAP (Ferric reducing antioxidant power) 활성, 총 폴리페놀 함량 분석을 통하여 항산화 활 성을 평가하였다. 국내 생산 감로꿀은 DPPH와 ABTS 라디칼 소거 활성을 보였으며 최고농도 10 mg/mL에서 DPPH에 비하여 ABTS 라디칼 소거능이 3배 이상 높게 측정되었다. FRAP 분석에서는 ferric ion (Fe3+)를 126 μM의 ferrous (Fe2+)로 환원시켰다. 또한, 국내 생산 감로꿀에 함유된 폴리페놀성 화합물의 총량은 73.41 mg GAE/kg로 확인되었다. 이상의 연구결과에 비추어 볼 때, 국내 생산 감로꿀의 우수한 라디칼 소 거능과 환원력을 가지며 천연 항산화제로 알려진 페놀성 화합물을 존재로 인하여 항산화 활성을 가지는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구결과는 국내 생산 감로꿀의 기능성 식품 소재로 활용할 수 있는 기초자료로 제공하는 바이다.

본 연구는 ‘스마트꿀’ 참외를 수확 후 ascorbic acid (AA) 및 salicylic acid (SA) 침지 처리와 PE film 처리가 저온저장(10℃) 중 과골 갈변 발생과 과실품질 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 참외 과실의 저장기간 동안 과골 갈변 발생 정도는 무처리 과실의 경우 저장기간 동안 꾸준히 증가하여 저장 15일후 3.8 수준으로 증가하였으나, PE film 처리 과실은 저장 15일후 2.7 수준으로 낮은 과골 갈변 증상을 보였다. 참외 과실의 고유색을 나타내는 황색 과피의 황색도(b*)의 경우, 무처리 과실은 저장 15일 후 38.1로 감소하였으나, PE film 처리 과실은 저장 15일 후에도 39.8로 높은 황색도를 보였다. 흰색 과골 명도(L*)는 무처리 과실은 저장 15일 후 67.9로 감소하였으나, PE film 처리 과실은 72.9로 높게 유지되었다. 그리고 흰색 과골 적색도(a*)의 변화는 무처리 과실의 경우 저장 15일 후 1.0으로 증가하였나, PE film 처리 과실은 저장 15일 후에도 –1.4 이었으며, AA 처리 과실 역시 –0.5로 적색도 변화를 효율적으로 억제하였다. 가용성 고형물 함량은 무처리 과실은 저장기간 동안 점차 감소하였으나 PE film, AA 및 SA 처리 과실들은 거의 변화가 없었다. 그리고 과실 중량감소율은 무처리 과실은 저장 15일 후 1.98%이었으나, PE film 처리 과실은 1.33%로 가장 낮은 중량감소율을 나타내었다. 따라서 ‘스마트꿀’ 참외를 저장 및 유통할 때 과골 갈변 발생과 과색 및 품질의 변화를 억제하는데 PE film 처리가 효과를 보여 처리방법에 대한 효율적인 적용 방안을 모색할 필요가 있다고 판단되었다.

In this study, we investigated and compared some chemical properties of Korean natural honeys and sugar-fed honeys for their quality characteristics. The natural honey samples were monofloral from chestnut and acacia flowers, and the sugar-fed honey samples were collected from honeybees feeding on sugar cane and sugar beet. The chemical properties of the honey samples, such as moisture, total protein, total lipids, ash, carbohydrate, minerals, vitamins, and free amino acids were determined. The moisture content was 18.5±0.9% in natural acacia honey, 17.2±0.9% in natural chestnut honey, 19.6±0.9% in sugar cane-fed honey, and 24.8±% in sugar beet-fed honey. The total protein and ash contents were the highest in natural chestnut honey. Maltose and sucrose were not detected in natural honeys but were detected at 2~7% in sugar-fed honeys. The vitamin, mineral, and free amino acids contents of natural honeys were higher than sugar-fed honeys. The natural chestnut honey is the highest in honeys. These results confirmed that the quality of natural honey was better than that of sugar-fed honey. Also, the vitamin, mineral, and free amino acids contents are potential characteristics for distinguishing between natural and sugar-fed honeys.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of black pigmented rice flour and honey syrup which were added different amounts to the rice on the quality of Rice Dasik. The sensory scores which evaluated for color, flavor, sweetness, softness, melting in mouth, swallowness, sticky and texture revealed that Dasik made with 20 ~ 30% black pigmented rice flour and 70% honey syrup were the most higher . Degree of lightness, redness and yellowness were decreased as increasing of black pigmented rice flour. the values of springness, gumminess, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, hardness and chewiness showed decreasing tendency in add of 70% honey syrup than that of 60% addition.

Quality changes of Korean native-bee honey were investigated during processing and preseration at different temperature. There were no changes of HMF(Hydroxy methyl furfural) and proline contents, color and diastase activity in Korean native-bee honey, when the honey separated from honey combs at 20 and 40. However, at 50 and 80, browning of Korean native-bee honey was shown, HMF content was increased rapidly and proline content and diastase activity were decreased. There were no changes of chemical composition in Korean native-bee honey during storage at 4 for 6 months. But color was darken and HMF content was increased slowly in Korean native-bee honey during storage at 20. During storage at 30 and 40, HMF content was increased highly, proline content, diastase activity and total acidity was decreased rapidly. It is recommended that Korean native-bee honey is separated from honey comb and purified at less than 40 and stored at 4 through 20.
