Essential Manuka Markers

MGO: 591

MGO stands for Methylglyoxal which is the organic compound responsible for Manuka honey’s strong antibacterial properties. DHA converts to MGO

NPA: 16.3

Non-Peroxide Activity (NPA) is the key measure of Manuka honey’s antibacterial strength. While all honeys have peroxide-based activity, which is antibacterial, it declines quickly over heat and time.

Manuka’s NPA is unique, remaining stable and present in high amounts.

DHA: 714

Found in the nectar of the Manuka flower, this is the precursor marker to Methylglyoxal (MGO)

HMF: 24.5

Should be below 40

HMF is a heat-sensitive compound which is an important measure for understanding if the Manuka honey has been tampered with. It essentially measures how fresh the honey is

Leptosperin 361

Unique Manuka Marker - tested by the UMF association for Legitimacy

NZ Government Manuka Markers (MPI)

Manuka DNA: 29.46

Needs to be below 36

3-PLA: 910

Needs to be above 400

This marker is a broad spectrum antimicrobial compound active against bacteria and fungi

2'-MAP: 20.0

Needs to be above 5

A phenolic compound found in Manuka

4-HPLA: 7.6

Needs to be above 1

An antioxidant found in Manuka Honey

2-MBA: 6.0

Needs to be above 1

A plant metabolite only found in Manuka - within nectar producing plants

Physical Properties

The most commonly tested physical characteristics of honey as defined by the Honey Codex

Colour: 109

Conductivity: 451

Moisture: 17.3

Brix: 76

C4 Sugars (AOAC)

Internationally recognised test to prove no sugar adulteration

C4 Sugar % : 7.0

Whole Honey ¹³C : -24.8

Protein Extract ¹³C :  -26.66

HP Difference: 1.9

Diastase

A diastase test measures the enzymatic activity of diastase (amylase) in honey. Diastase is a natural enzyme present in honey that helps break down starch into simpler sugars.

Diastase (Phadebas): 7.6

Tutin Residue

A tiny insect called the passion vine hopper feeds on the tutu plant and excretes a substance – honeydew – onto the branches and leaves of the plant. When honeybees feed on this honeydew, it can contaminate their honey.

Tutin Compliance: PASS

Tutin Result: 0.02

Herbicides

Testing to confirm honey does not have any herbicide residue

Result: PASS

Glyphosate: <0.010

Glufosinate: <0.010

Aminomethyl phosphonic acid: <0.010

Herbicides (Trace)

A second test to confirm the honey does not have any herbicide residue

Result: PASS

Glyphosate: <0.0040

Glufosinate: <0.010

Aminomethyl phosphonic acid: <0.010
