Shelf-Life Of Honey With Controlled Moisture and LD Ratios
A Canadian study shows recrystallized honey stability depends on moisture and levulose to dextrose ratio. Optimal blends yield a firm texture after four to five days at 57 F, with a shelf life of at least four months when moisture stays under 18 percent for LD above 1.14 to 1.0. Lower ratios permit slightly higher moisture. An unrelated note adds automobile batteries have 65 percent starting power at 32 F versus 80 F.
