Manuka honey is a type of honey produced in New Zealand and Australia from the nectar of the Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium or Leptospermum polygalifolium) tree. The honey is commonly sold as an alternative or complementary medicine and it is thought to have many health benefits over and above regular raw honey.
Manuka honey has a distinct flavour. It is typically dark cream to dark brown and is markedly thixotropic. This property is due to the presence of a protein or colloid. To be labelled New Zealand Manuka honey, at least 70% of its pollen content should come from Leptospermum scoparium.
Most honeys contain a naturally occurring active agent, which is thought to support good health but it is easily destroyed by heat and light. Manuka honey contains an extra, naturally occurring special component, which makes it distinct from other types of honey.
This additional component is stable and doesn't lose its potency when exposed to heat, light or dilution. Its special quality is known as UMF and the higher the UMF, the more potent the honey.
Manuka honey in particular has amazing antibacterial properties for wound healing and related to substantial non-peroxide antibacterial activity of a compound called methylglyoxal (MGO) present in Manuka honey in high amounts.
In vitro tudies indicate that methylglyoxal is an effective antimicrobial agent against forms of MRSA.ogle สำหรับการแปล
