Se me apareció Mr Corchete

El Sr. Corchete vino a Chile onda a pasar su vejez. Se compró un campo en la Comuna de Los Lagos y se las dio de Apicultor.

En el Simposio de Viña conoció los estudios de Gloria Montenegro y se inventó la Active RainForest Honey.

Luego descubrió los poderes de la peroxidasa, en particular la de la miel de Ulmo y hoy compite en las grandes ligas con su SurgiHoney RO a través del Holding Motoke .

¿Cuál será la tecnología para transformar la miel de Ulmo en SurgiHoney?

Por aquí El Método para evaluar el producto.

Aplausos para el Sr. Corchete.

Glyconutrients - Beeotic

El colega John Smith de Tamwoth, Australia escribe sobre la nueva movida de Capilano en la selecta lista Honey_australia de Yahoogroups.

Congratulations to Capilano Honey for the development and release of their BEEOTIC prebiotic honey.

This could easily be the greatest thing they have done since introducing the upside down squeeze bottle.

I like the way they approach honey's magic from the nutrition side, rather than from the germ and disease fighting side.   This bypasses a host of considerations and arguments over 'cures' and 'licences' and 'medical entanglements.'

While they have not listed the elements they are testing for and the processes they are patenting, it is obvious that they are naturally occurring elements of many varietal honeys.  Certainly the pollens inherent in unfiltered honey contain many exotic proteins, and no doubt myriad other substances have been identified over the years in a variety of honey types by a variety of researchers.

But it is the long chain sugars that fascinate me the most, as these are not readily found in just ever apple we buy, but in fact as sugars, are most probably very heat stable, and in part may well explain why honey was so valued in centuries gone by, despite the fact the big kero tin of it sat on the back of the wood or coal cooking range so it would pour during the long winter months.

Its medicinal value was never challenged then, as it was an assumed fact that honey was honey and it was good for us.   It was not until more modern sweeteners arrived that we began to study the composition of honey in earnest.  

"Raw" honey has become the pet requirement of many honey users these days and no amount of information about how few months of the year it is practical to present honey that has not granulated will suffice to quell the fears of the prospective user.  Some even cringe if the honey is exposed to sunlight, and want it in dark glass.   Such paranoia!

If in fact the long chain sugars are a significant contribution to the composition of the BEEOTIC honey it follows that the honey will perform regardless of normal processing heat and even the less invasive types of filtration.

Unfortunately, there is a doctrine amongst our food scientists and regulators that all sweeteners are the same.  They seem entirely content to let honey be the name on most any sugar they can concoct, especially as they only want to discuss the glucose and fructose content.  The elusive and myriad long chain sugars (oligosaccharides) are not that easily duplicated and produced economically in the laboratory and factory, so the experts in the food industry prefer not to address them.

But they certainly are coming to the fore in modern research as health promoters, energy producers and disease fighters.  It makes such good sense that these sugars have forever been present in honey and may well account for honey's healing and health promoting reputation (amongst many other factors).

If you care to remember (or refresh) I gave a prediction in my opening message of this group forum (message number two), back in 2005 about how honey would shine one day when these nutrients became more generally recognised.

Of particular interest in this message group, is the price of the BEEOTIC.   Indeed, Capilano are effectively saying to the buying public, "OK, we can give you the quality honey you are demanding, but it will not be cheap like you think it should be!"   And it is certainly not too late for that message to hit the news, as everyone is in tears over the loss of the bee, and don't really know what to do about it.

BEEOTIC is more or less the same good honey Allowrie Brand once was, plus the advantages of some expensive testing to shake off the dilution fog that now surrounds most of the world's big brands.   Yet my personal customers do not need this testing, as they can look me square in the eye and enquire of my processing methods.  They can determine for themselves whether to trust me and my honey or not.

The BEEOTIC I bought last week was priced at $A27.00 per kilo, or thereabouts.  I looked at the shelf talker, but didn't click on save with the cents.   The pack size has been lost as it must have been on the tear-away wrapper.  Capilano have skipped the nutritional label as well, and the bits of spin involved is quite forgivable in this world of competitive marketing.  There is no expiry date present either, unless it was on the wrapper.  I don't believe we need to apologise for real honey!

ESPECIALLY am I pleased,  when I consider that my own honey, being entirely natural, is worth that too.  Sure, the general public will be willing to pay extra for the testing etc., and I won't need to, but I can still cite the value of BEEOTIC to my customers and let them decide if my honey is worth my asking price or not.

Capilano 'have done us proud,' to quote Slim Dusty.  This product is nicely balanced between the demands of the purist intellectual and the realities of the marketplace.  If the general public have the audacity to reject it on price alone, then we might as well roll up the carpet and quit beekeeping altogether.  They don't deserve good honey if they expect it for prices similar to those in the Great Depression.

Mas cualidades para la Miel de Ulmo

No hay fuentes, ni estudios, sólo algo que encontré en una web que oferta miel de Ulmo en Europa/Alemania.

http://www.feldt-honig.de/shop/product_info.php?language=en&products_id=41

Pure Ulmo honey is mainly harvested from the natural rain forest of southern Chile. The nectar comes from the very pretty white flowers, resembling the Camellia flower, of the Ulmo trees. Bees usually enjoy a great variety of flowers and plants but the nectar ofand aroma of the Ulmo tree is such a bee favourite that they quite often ignore other flowers nearby. The Ulmo tree can grow as tall as 130 feet high. Although it is native to Chile it can also be found in Argentina, along the North Pacific Coast and even Scotland.

Ulmo honey has the buttery taste of vanilla and caramel toffee combined with an aroma of Jasmine and cloves, with a touch of aniseed.

Ulmo honey can be used in cooking and baking for an extensive range of honey recipes. Its taste is merely delicious.

Ulmo honey seems to have the ability to reduce and stall our aging effects, these include the onset of Alzheimer's disease. It is a powerful natural healer when it comes to burns that do not need urgent medical treatment, and rashes for example.

Miel el primer afodisiaco

De todo hay en la red.

Siguiendo con la idea de Redoles de darle nuevos usos a la miel,

les dejo este otro link para los necesitados.

Total el sexo vende ...

Del link me robe la foto de los monitos enmielados o de luna de miel.

Ta dando ...

Vengo bajando de la montaña. Estoy en Copec por un cafecito e internet. Hay que ponerse al día con los correos y el weather report.

Al menos 5 dias bonitos (contando hoy) para que las colmenas sigan llenando alzas. Los dos días con lluvia - garuga - no les hará mella. Les servirá para ordenar la colecta de la semana y comenzar a sellar panales.

Ya estamos contentos. Al menos 30 toneladas sacaremos en esta última vuelta. Optimistas sacamos el doble.

Después de esta visita relampago para poner Panapi (1/2 kilo) e injertar un núcleo en las colmenas que no se habían comido la torta de hace 15 días (250 gr). También sacamos algunas alzas que estaban demás. Mejor apredatidas y en 15 días más volvemos a evaluar.

Así son las estadísticas de la montaña:

Esa configuración de colmenas nos permite pensar en un escenario optimisma y otro realista.

Así quedan las cosas por ahora ... mmm ...

Look Out Manuka…Myrtle’s On The Way

Alan Harman

Honey from an Australian native myrtle tree has the most powerful anti-bacterial properties of any honey in the world and could be used to treat antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections that commonly occur in hospitals and nursing homes.

Brisbane-based researchers say myrtle honey has very high levels of the anti-bacterial compound, Methylglyoxal (MGO), and outperforms all medicinal honeys available on the market, including New Zealand’s manuka honeys.

Led by the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI), a partnership between the University of Queensland and the Queensland government's Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation (DEEDI), the research is being carried out in conjunction with the Australian Organic Honey Co. and Medi Bioactive Australia.

The project involves comprehensive trials with honey harvested from a native species of myrtle (leptospermum polygalifolium), which is distributed along the Australian eastern seaboard from the south coast of New South Wales to Cape York, Queensland.

Australian Organic Honey Co. and Medi Bioactive Australia chief executive Carolyn MacGill says the findings show anti-bacterial potency levels that could allow for the development of highly effective anti-bacterial treatments.

“We have had MGO readings in excess of 1,750 mg/kg in certain batches of honey,” MacGill says. “This would make this range of honeys one of the most potent in the world.”

Honeys investigated by the research group were effective as anti-bacterial treatments when used in the range of 500 – 1,750 mg/kg MGO to prevent the growth of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a common bacterial infection in hospitals and community facilities where residents are immune challenged, such as nursing homes.

Chief researcher on the project, QAAFI scientist Yasmina Sultanbawa says the potency of the honeys mean only a small amount is required to fight infection.

“The sheer strength, due to high levels of active compounds in these honeys, has meant that we have been able to completely inhibit MRSA for example in in-vitro studies with a relatively small quantity of the honey,” Sultanbawa says,

“This means potential products could maintain significant levels of anti-bacterial activity even in surface wounds where the honey is diluted in the bed of the infection.

“Investigations into unconventional remedies that are non-toxic and unlikely to result in resistance to the treatment, such as the QAAFI research into bioactive honeys, is very promising.”

MacGill says the potential of the honeys could ultimately result in a range of highly sought-after products.

“Our research to date has produced overwhelming results in the quest to inhibit the very common infection MRSA at very low percentage rates of application,” she says.

“This could provide enormous benefits for Australian and international medical fraternities and their patients.”
