Beeisto ingredient analysis
At Beeisto,
Not to show off the numbers,
To avoid ambiguity in the selection criteria,
We conduct ingredient analysis by a third-party organization.
Manuka honey is
It is difficult to judge the condition of this food based on appearance and taste alone.
That's why,
Check items such as MGO and HMF,
The results are published.
It is not to show superiority or inferiority,
It's just to check the condition of what you have in your hands.
Main analysis items being checked
About MGO (methylglyoxal)
MGO (methylglyoxal)
It is one of the components unique to Manuka honey.
It is generally used as a measure of quality.
At Beeisto,
Rather than competing on the MGO value itself,
We see it as one of the indicators to check whether the displayed standards are being properly met.
About DHA
DHA (dihydroxyacetone)
It is a component found in Manuka nectar.
It will naturally convert to MGO over time.
Therefore, the value of DHA is
This is one of the items that can be used as a reference to check whether the manufacturing and storage conditions were appropriate.
About HMF
HMF (hydroxymethylfurfural)
If the honey is overheated,
This is a component that is produced when the product is stored for a long period of time.
At Beeisto,
By checking the HMF value,
We check to see if there are any problems with freshness or handling.

You can check the actual report.
Not to compare numbers,
This is to confirm that the test is actually being carried out.

Beeisto's thoughts on "certainty"
What is important to us is,
It's not about certification or listing numbers per se.
Actually check it out,
Keep it as a record,
It must be made public in the required form.
What lies beyond the accumulation of these things is
This is what Beeisto considers to be "certainty."
