Abstract
⺠Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and methylglyoxal (MGO) are unique carbohydrate metabolites of manuka honey. ⺠DHA and MGO were quantified in a number of manuka honeys. ⺠DHA reacts with OPD to 2-hydroxymethylquinoxaline. ⺠Correlation between DHA and MGO in commercial manuka samples is a quality marker. ⺠No MGO formation occurs during thermal treatment of honey.
