Abstract. Honey, known as “liquid gold,” is one of the most valuable natural food products. It has been known to humans since ancient Egyptian times. Honey is the result of the labor of worker bees. They collect nectar from plants, place it in a honeycomb cell, and seal it with wax. Through processes that occur in their bodies, the nectar undergoes a chemical transformation and becomes honey. Honey is a complex natural product. It contains over 180 individual substances, such as carbohydrates, organic acids, vitamins, and more. Its acidic nature makes it an excellent remedy against bacteria and inflammation. Due to its sweet taste, it is a widely used sweetener.
