Honey is a natural, sweet, viscous food substance produced by honey bees that is amber or gold in colour. It is a super-saturated glucose-fructose solution that is harvested in its raw liquid form and is used in a wide range of products in the food industry, where liquid honey is typically more desirable. Honey is also used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries for its functional and medicinal properties as an antioxidant.
However, it can be extremely difficult to process due to its viscous and 'sticky' characteristics. Silverson has proven capabilities with honey in the following food applications:
Blending different grades of honey: Honey is a natural product and variations occur seasonally and by location. Different types/grades of honey can be blended to provide a uniform product.
Dispersion of crystals resulting in clear/runny honey: Crystallised honey requires heating and holding at temperature to remove "seeds" and return honey to liquid form.
Addition of other products to honey to make flavoured products, i.e., additional powders such as flavourings.
