Physicochemical analysis of Pineapple Honey / Nur Nadia Hani Norazmi

Pineapple honey is a rare type of honey found by Malaysian beekeepers and produced by the European honey bee Apis Mellifera. The physical and chemical properties of honey were varied based on their botanical and geographical states which also being used as indicator for honey quality. This study was...
