Detailed explanation-1: -After that, take a few drops of honey in a Petri dish, add 2-3 drops of aniline chloride solution. Result: If the solution turns to orange colour, It indicates the presence of inverted sugar . No colour change result indicates pure honey.
Detailed explanation-2: -Aniline chloride test to check adulteration in honey. Aniline chloride test can detect the presence of common sugar in honey. Similarly, Common sugar contains Sucrose (A dia saccharides) whereas honey contains simple sugars (Glucose & fructose). Likewise, this test can detect the presence of sucrose in honey.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fiehe’s test checks if commercial invert sugar has been added to honey for adulteration. As per Indian Standard requirement, if Fiehe’s test is positive and hydroxymethylfurfural content is more than 80 milligrams/kilogram, then fructose-to-glucose ratio should be 1.0 or more.
