The Shelf-life of Canadian Active Honeys
| Division: | Biotechnology / None | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Niagara | | City: | Niagara Falls, ON | | School: | A.N. Myer S.S. | | Abstract: | To establish the shelf-life of Canadian honey possessing antibacterial activity, several samples were analyzed against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis using broth-microdilution assay. The shelf-life was assessed by comparison of antibacterial activity over 3 days of storage, which reduced the antibacterial activity and encouraged microbes’ growth. Sterilization using a germicidal UV lamp did not change honey’s antibacterial activity and prolonged shelf-life to 13 days. |
