A real-time PCR (qPCR) kit for determining the botanical origin of honey.

Our Services

Honning Plus®

A new service for identifying the botanical origin of honey using qPCR technology.

Honning Plus®

Accurately validates the botanical origin of both monofloral and polyfloral honeys.

Advantages

With Honning Plus ®, you can obtain results within 48–72 hours, at a low cost. These results provide batch-level traceability, offering certainty and confidence to consumers.

Honning Plus® PCR Kit and service are available for monofloral honeys from:

How It Works

The HONNING PLUS® PCR method for determining the botanical origin of honey is based on the detection and quantification of specific DNA from target plant species present in the honey, using real-time PCR technology (the same used for COVID detection).

The detected DNA is correlated with the percentage of pollen. In this way, it is possible to determine whether a honey is monofloral for a specific species. This technique is currently used to certify Manuka honey in New Zealand.
