Relationships between electrical conductivity and total and sulphated ash contents in Basque honeys

In 30 honeys of the Basque country (N spain), linear relationships have been found between electrical conductivity, measured at 20 degree C in solutions containing 10 g of honey dissolved in 75 ml of water, and total and sulphate ash contents: total ash (%) = 0.083 electrical conductivity -0.092 (r...

More Information
Summary:In 30 honeys of the Basque country (N spain), linear relationships have been found between electrical conductivity, measured at 20 degree C in solutions containing 10 g of honey dissolved in 75 ml of water, and total and sulphate ash contents: total ash (%) = 0.083 electrical conductivity -0.092 (r = 0.964, P value = 96.3%); sulphated ash (%) = 0.121 electrical conductivity -0.097 (r = 0.981, P value = 99.4%). The straightforwardness of electrical conductivity measurements in honey might make these relationships a useful means of calculating ash content.
