Understanding Diastase in Honey

Diastase is an enzyme naturally present in honey. Laboratories measure diastase activity as one of the quality parameters of honey.

Why is it measured? Diastase activity can decrease when honey is exposed to heat or stored for long periods, which is why it is commonly included in honey testing alongside HMF.

Our result The laboratory analysis of our honey reported a diastase value of 11.4 for the tested sample.

Natural variation Diastase levels can also vary naturally depending on the nectar source and region. Please refer to the full laboratory report for the method and reference values used.
