Medokom ensures top-quality honey through independent laboratory testing by QSI.
The Medokom honey brand prides itself on the top-notch quality of its honey. To ensure that every jar of honey meets the strictest standards, they regularly send samples for laboratory testing to the prestigious German laboratory QSI (Quality Services International GmbH) in Bremen. This accredited laboratory specializes in food and honey analysis, providing proof of the honey's authenticity and purity, and confirming its origin and quality.
Top-notch laboratory tests
Each sample of Medokom honey undergoes comprehensive tests, which include:
- Moisture content – a key parameter for determining the quality and shelf life of honey.
- HMF (Hydroxymethylfurfural) – an indicator of the “freshness” of honey and its gentle processing.
- Diastase activity – the enzymatic activity of honey, which confirms its natural character.
- Sensory analysis – tests that evaluate the aroma, appearance and taste properties of honey.
- Composition and ratio of individual sugars (fructose, glucose, sucrose and others) – the ratio of sugars in honey is key to determining its type, properties and natural composition.
- Pollen analysis – confirms the botanical and geographical origin of honey.
- Tests for impermissible substances – honey is analyzed for the presence of antibiotics, pesticides and other contaminants to ensure its purity.
- Authenticity of honey – modern methods such as isotope analysis or NMR Honey-Profiling™ confirm that the honey has not been adulterated.
Conclusion of laboratory tests
The tests confirmed that Medokom honey samples meet all the requirements of the European Honey Directive (2001/110/EC) and show excellent quality. No traces of foreign sugars, antibiotics or other undesirable substances were detected.
Why does Medokom rely on laboratory tests?
For Medokom, quality and customer trust are an absolute priority. Cooperation with the renowned QSI laboratory provides not only proof of top quality, but also transparency and guarantees for consumers.
Only laboratory analyses can detect the poor quality of honey or the presence of prohibited substances.
If you are looking for honey of verified quality that is subject to the strictest controls, then Medokom is the right choice.
