Abstract
In south India Apis Cerana Indica is
used for commercial beekeeping and honey production. It provides nutritional,
economic and ecological security to rural communities, especially in the
developing countries like India. Honey is a natural, viscous, sweet product
used as an ingredient flavour, colour, sweetness and caramelisation. Honey is
composed mainly of fructose and glucose, water with low protein levels. Protein
are minor, but important components of honey originating from nectar, protein. There
are some protein compounds in honey in addition to sugar, lipids and mineral
compounds. The quantitative of proteins in honey is considered as good index. In
this research honey samples was collected from Annamalai Nagar apiary and the
studies were carry out to determine the protein quality.
