Stingless bee is a small bee which is also known as “Kelulut” locally. Kelulut
honey is the type of honey reported to have more medicinal benefit as
compared to other bee. Honey was defined as the sweet substances produced
by honey bees. The objective of this study are to examine and determine the
physicochemical between stingless bee and honey bee honey. Honey sample
is evaluated based on the parameter such as pH, moisture content, colour,
electric conductivity, viscosity, sugar content and sensory test. This project
are conducted to fill in the knowledge gap on the physicochemical properties
between stingless bee honey and honey bee honey. Most report focused on
Tualang and Manuka honey compared to the stingless bee honey. The result
from this study will determine which honey has more benefit and most
preferred by the consumer.
