<p>This invention is directed to methods of manufacture, apparatus for manufacturing and final products produced in accordance with a honey based product. The product is produced by combining a quantity of thickening agent with a solvent to produce a gelling agent, mixing the gelling agent with honey, and reducing the solvent content of the honey-gelling agent mixture to achieve a honey based product including more than 90 % honey by weight of the combined honey-gelling agent mixture. The honey based product has application as confectionery products, wound dressings and internal and external therapeutic uses. The honey-based products may be produced using honey in any form, whether liquid, crystallised, spray-dried, freeze-dried and using both 'active' and 'non-active' honey. The manufacturing process is able to retain both the peroxide and non-peroxide activity of the 'active' honey in the final honey-based product.</p> |
