| Abstract |
Honey samples belong to clover plants (Trifolium alexandrinanum) were obtained from private Beehives at Gharbia governorate in June 2010. Adulteration of honey was obtained by the addition of four different materials (starch, glucose, molasses, and distilled water) with different concentrations (1, 3, 6, 12, and 24%). Physico-chemical and rheological characteristics of pure and adulterated honey samples were investigated. The samples were found to differ from each other in refractive index (R.I), moisture content, total soluble solids (T.T.S), density, specific weight, capillary action, surface tension and pH. The rheological properties of pure and adulterated honey were analyzed using Brookfield viscometer over a range of 10-100 rpm and 25?C, pure honey exhibited Newtonian behavior, while adulterated honey exhibited non-Newtonian pseudoplastic behavior.
