Questions & Anwers
1. Where is MediTree Honey collected from?MediTree honey is all collected from Australian virgin forest floras, It has no GM (Genetically Modified) risks, is unprocessed and taken straight from beehives.
2. Why MediTree Honey is special?MediTree honey products are all bottled using cold filling techniques that retain the maximum active properties and natural nutrients in the honey. the quality of our Low GI honey, high level of antimicrobial honey and rich antioxidants honey is exceptional that look after your health and wellbeing in a long run.
3. What is the taste and function of MediTree Honey?MediTree honey has brown sugar or caramel tastes, some of it seems to have dried longan fruit aftertaste. The honey contains very high level of natural antioxidants and antibacterial properties, which has anti-ageing effects and strong bactericidal capabilities. It has been used by Western Australian indigenous people as a healing medicine over long history. By scientific research and study in recent years, the entity of the honey is confirmed as a world class healing honey.
4. What is the taste and function of Low Gi MediTree honey?The Low Gi MediTree honey has very smooth texture in mouth, it sweet and savory. The honey is Low glycemic index, had been tested by an low Gi research centre in Australia on a group of people and showed low blood sugar level after consuming it. Low GI MediTree honey is a favourable sweetener for people who loves low GI foods.
5. Why natural honey usually has changing tastes and colours?Natural honey has a changing taste according to different bee sites and environment, sometimes the taste is strong like creamy toffee or brown sugar, and some season the taste is light and sweet due to it's nature creation. The honey has significant prebiotic potential that is healty for digestive system and is an ideal energy booster.
6. What is Unified Antioxidants Factor (UAF) in Honey?The Unified Antioxidants Factor UAF® is an antioxidant index system to make it easier for buyers of Australian honey products to see the level of antioxidant activity in their honey. Antioxidant activity in honey is being further researched by the Government-supported Collaborative Research Centre for Honey Bee Products (www.crchoneybeeproducts.com) and support by Australia UAF Organisation Inc.
UAF® represents the level of antioxidants in honey through the measurement of the honey to absorb free radicals using Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP). An accredited independent food science laboratory is used to perform the assays, and the results are presented in a simplified UAF® index system. The scale ranges from 0 - 1000 ug TE/100g, with 1000 being the highest antioxidant activity. To date, honey with the higher UAF level, the less quantity can be offer. Therefore, high UAF® honey has rare and limited resource.
7. What are Antioxidants? To understand antioxidants, we need to know "free radicals". Free radical are generated by our body as a result from either normal metabolic processes or from external causes such as alcohol, smoke, pesticides and air pollutants. If free radicals overwhelm our body's ability to handle, then oxidative stress is forming over time which can bring illnesses such as heart disease, liver problem and a number of cancers.
8. Why do we need UAF rich honey?Antioxidants help our body to fight free radical that lead to oxidation and cell damage, and potentially lead to ageing and diseases. Antioxidants are compounds that protect body cells against free radical damage. Therefore, having UAF rich honey is one of food options to gain natural antioxidants for our body. 9. What antimicrobial and antioxidants Honeys?Where are these mysterious enzymes substance coming from? According to the study by University of Western Australia and Western Australian Department of Agriculture and Food, some of eucalyptus tree flowers can produce dozen of enzymatic contents; honeybees collect these enzymes-containing nectars and bring them back to beehives for brewing and turning them to honey, then the honey carries all these substances which having antimicrobial and antioxidants properties.
10. What is Total Activity (TA) in Honey？Why TA is no longer marked on labels?Level of activities at major enzymes in honey are identified and measured by scientists which resulting an overall data of activity index of honey activity as total activity referring as “TA”. The larger number represents the stronger antibacterial level of the honey. However, due to the inconsistency of total activity (TA) as a measurement system is an issue that has puzzled the honey industry and the impending labelling laws coming into effect, laboratory testing term "TA" will no longer to be appeared on honey labels.
