Composition and Honey Calories
Being an important enzyme in honey is enzyme diastase, inverts, glucose oxidize peroxides, and lipase. The enzyme diastase is an enzyme that converts complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides) into simple carbohydrates (monosaccharide). Inverts enzyme is an enzyme that breaks down molecules of sucrose into glucose and fructose. Oxidize is an enzyme that helps the oxidation of glucose to peroxide. Peroxides oxidize metabolic process. All of these substances are useful to the body's metabolic processes.
Calories in honey are very large 3,280 cal / kg. 1 kg of honey calorie is value equivalent to 50 chicken eggs, 5.7 liter milk, 25 bananas, 40 oranges, 4 kg of potatoes, and 1.68 kg of meat. Honey has a high carbohydrate content and low in fat. Sugar content in honey is 80 % and 85 % of the sugar in the form of fructose and glucose.
Principal acid in honey is glutamic acid. While the organic acids found in honey acetic acid, butyric acid, format, succinct, glycolic, malic, proglutamat, citrate, and pyruvate.
Chemical composition of honey per 100 Grams are glory honey standard moisture content ranged 17.42 s / d 19 % (meaning that in each 1 cc of honey containing 17.4 % water, 1.42 grams of water weight).
Water content is derived from the nectar of flowers (not mixed with water). The concentration of the water content, makes Honey glory is not uniform consistency, however, the quality and the quality of the honey still guaranteed / warranty, with guaranteed purity 2X money back, meaning that if honey is not original glory and pure (no chemical mixture) with the results of clinical trials for money is being paid to the glory returned twice.
In addition to nectar sources, nutrient / nutrients are in the honey are also determined by the water content contained in the honey. The higher levels of nutrients in the water are decreases. Honey is good according to the national quality standard moisture content of about 17 % to 22 %.
Natural sugar found in honey (called invert sugar, is derived from the nectar of flowers. Has a very high concentration of sugar is fructose and glucose. Sugar in honey can be readily assimilated by the blood in the body.
Benefits of invert sugar are have a very simple chemical composition, immediately assimilated into the blood and immediately produce energy without going through the digestive process.
In addition, honey also contains active compounds called diastase enzyme, is very useful for Preventing and; neutralize harmful bacteria present in the human body, making the body immune from various diseases. It is also prevent and neutralize the harmful bacteria that enter and enrich the content of honey, honey making quality, the longer it is stored the better, there is no limit expired. However, some regulations still require the inclusion limit expires.
Based on research, the honey is safe for consumption by diabetics. Even in general, consumption of honey is very beneficial for people with diabetes to help guard their health and performance of every organ system in the body.
