中文摘要:

      麦卢卡蜂蜜是新西兰特有的一种珍贵蜜种。由于其具有独特的非过氧化抗菌活性, 营养保健功能强大,在我国的进口蜂蜜中所占的比重越来越大。但是, 目前国内对于麦卢卡蜂蜜的研究非常少, 这对于进口麦卢卡蜂蜜的监督监管将造成很大影响。由于麦卢卡蜂蜜是根据其抗菌活性高低进行质量评价和分级的。不同级别的麦卢卡蜂蜜价格差异巨大。近来, 虚假标示抗菌活性等级甚至完全没有抗菌活性的麦卢卡蜂蜜掺假现象时有报道,急需国内进行相关研究并制订标准以进行监管。本文针对麦卢卡蜂蜜两个关键性质量评价指标, 非过氧化抗菌活性和甲基乙二醛的相关研究, 以及利用碳4植物糖检测和筛选特征标志物方法用于麦卢卡蜂蜜掺假鉴别研究进行了综述。

英文摘要:

      Manuka honey is a kind of valuable honey, which exists uniquely in New Zealand. Because of it has unique non-peroxide antibacterial activity, the nutritional and health functions are powerful, Manuka honey has occupied an increasingly large proportion in the honey imported into China. But the research on manuka honey in China is very few. This will severely affect the supervision on imported Manuka honey. Manuka honey is quality evaluated and graded according to the antibacterial activity, thus the prices of different graded Manuka honey are very different. Recently, the events about Manuka honey adulteration are reported more often. Such as the false labeling of the antibacterial activity grade, even there is no antibacterial activity in “Manuka honey”. This suggests that the research on Manuka honey is needed and the criterion should been worked out. In this paper, the research on non-peroxide antibacterial activity and methylglyoxal, which are the key parameters used in quality evaluation of Manuka honey, is reviewed. Moreover, the determination of carbon-4 plant sugars in honey and the screening of characteristics markers in Manuka honey for adulteration identification are discussed.
