W 2 = weight (g) of honey sampleY 2 = volumes (ml) of diluted honey solution3.2.4.7 Apparent SucroseThe honey solution (50 ml) was placed in a graduated flask, together with 25 ml distilled water,heated to 65 o C over a boiling water bath. The flask is then removed from the heated bath <strong>and</strong> 10ml of hydrochloric acid was added (Appendix 7.4). The solution was allowed to cool naturallyfor 15 minutes, <strong>and</strong> then brought to 20 o C <strong>and</strong> neutralized with sodium hydroxide (Appendix7.4), using litmus paper as indicator, cooled again, <strong>and</strong> the volume adjusted to 100 ml (dilutedhoney solution). Then the procedure of determining reducing sugar continued.Apparent sucrose content = (invert sugar content after inversion - invert sugar contentbefore inversion) x0.95The result is expressed as g apparent sucrose per 100 g honey.3.3 Data Management <strong>and</strong> Statistical AnalysisThe collected data were coded <strong>and</strong> tabulated for analysis. The statistical analysis used in thestudy varied depending on the type of variable <strong>and</strong> information obtained. However, since thesurvey study was based on ‘single-visit-multiple-subject formal survey’ methodology, descriptivestatistics using SPSS version 16.0 was mainly applied such as mean <strong>and</strong> frequency. Honeyquality parameters were also analyzed using SPSS version 16.33
