![]() The physicochemical properties pH, moisture, acidity, color, and sugar content as well as vitamins C and E, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and mineral contents, for the irradiated and non- irradiated honeys were assessed. Both honeys were irradiated at the dose 25 kGy in a cobalt-60 irradiator. We investigated the effect of gamma irradiation on physicochemical properties in two types of Malaysian honey, Gelam and Nenas. Gamma irradiation is a physical technique of food preservation which protects the honey from insects' and microbial contamination during storage. Honey is a supersaturated solution of sugars, enriched with proteins, minerals, vitamins, organic acids and polyphenols.
