Physicochemical and Microbiological Analysis of Stingless Bees Honey Collected from Local Market in Malaysia

The growing demand for honey in the market has led to the occurrence of the tampering honey with foreign substances and increases the production of artificial honey. Due to this concern, this study works on the physicochemical and microbial characterization of stingless bee honey. The physicochemica...
