Product 1

HCID 10690Gluconic Acid

Procedure

To 200 g of Chinese milk vetch honey was added 300 g of water followed by addition of 0.5 g of an enzyme preparation containing glucose oxidase (60 units/mg) and catalase (390 units/mg) activities and the reaction was carried out at 23° C. under aerobic conditions for 90 minutes to provide a gluconic acid-containing honey. The result of assay of gluconic acid in this reaction mixture by high performance liquid chromatography is shown in Table 10. This product has a refreshing gustatory quality possessing both a sour taste and a sweet taste.
