Sugar Content of Honey from Wild and Kept Honeybees
野生蜂與養殖蜂所產蜂蜜的糖類含量分析
摘要
本研究之目的在於以高效液相層析法就蜂蜜成分中最主要的糖類作分析以比較野生與養殖所得之蜂蜜中之糖類含量，並將結果與波蘭、美國及加拿大等類似研究之分析結果相比較，發現一般養殖蜂蜜並沒有明顯的差異。 本研究結果顯示出一般養殖的蜂蜜中約含38%果糖，冬蜜約含36%，兩者十分相近，而野生蜂的蜂蜜則在45%左右。葡萄糖之含量除冬蜜約為27%外，其餘一般養殖蜂約為33%，野生蜂之蜂蜜約在31%上下。因此，在果糖與葡萄糖之比值上一般養殖蜂蜜均介於1.1與1.2之間，而野生蜂蜜則約1.4-1.6。只有少數蜂蜜能檢測少量蔗糖出來，至於麥芽糖含量約在4.2%上下。在總糖分含量上冬蜜檢品約為67%，而其他季節之一般養殖蜂蜜檢品約有75%左右，而野生蜂之蜂蜜則高達80%。

The purpose of this study was to analyze major sugar components of honey by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Results, compared with data obtained from similar studies in Poland, the United States (U.S.), and Canada, showed no obvious discrepancies. Results indicated that the fructose content in honey collected from kept honeybees was 38%; in winter honey, 36% and from wild honeybees, 45%. The glucose content in winter honey was 27%; in kept honey, 33%; and wild honey, 31%. Thus, the fructose-to-glucose ratios are between 1.1-1.2 in kept honey and 1.4-1.6 in wild honey. Only a small amount of sucrose was detectable in some samples, while the content of maltose in all samples was around 4.2%. The total sugar content in winter honey was 67%; honey produced in other seasons contained 75%, with wild honey up to 80%.
