Honey crystallization
To unravel the mysteries of crystallization, the authors explore the world of science and delve into the heart of the product: principles of chemistry and physics, together with a measure of common sense, are essential to understand it and to highlight the different factors that can influence it.
Every beekeeper knows that floral sources influence the rate of crystal formation and the consistency of the honeys we harvest. The crystallization of a liquid honey is also affected by a multitude of other parameters, such as simple vibrations, stirring, or the addition of seed crystals in solution. Controlling the crystallization of honey can therefore prove to be difficult.
