Thermal and physical behaviour of honeys.

Comportamento termico e fisico di mieli tipici.

Type of article: Article

Summary

In the paper, the thermal and physical behaviour of a number of selected honeys has been investigated, also with reference to the few data found in literature. The authors studied water activity, rheological and thermal behaviour of honeys. Water activity analysis confirmed liquid honey as a Newtonian fluid and showed apparent pseudoplasticity of honey when crystallized. Thermophysical properties studies allowed honey's most important phase transitions to be defined, allowing the drawing of a representative state diagram for this product; besides, glass transition temperature shift after melting of crystallized honeys allowed the authors to elaborate an indirect method for the evaluation of crystallinity degree.
