The effect of moisture content in Nusa Tenggara Timur Forest honey on viscosity, pH and total dissolved solids

Abstract This study to determine the physicochemical properties of Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) forest honey from Apis Dorsata based on differences in moisture content. The method used was an experimental with a completely randomized design four treatments and replications. treatment given NTT content 23% reduced vacuum evaporator 22%, 21% 20%. variables observed were viscosity, pH Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). results showed that decrease using had very significant effect (P<0.01) viscosity. TDS no value. viscosity value has average 747.25–953 poise. 331.25–322.75 ppm 3.77–3.79. conclusion reduction honey, but did not affect
