Abstract

This study aimed to determine the changes of moisture content, pH, and total sugar content of honey originated from the flowers of Bangka rubber (named as rubber honey) during storage. Honey sample was taken by using purposive sampling originated from Kalung reserved area, Namang village, Central Bangka regency, Indonesia. The collected rubber honey was packaged in a glass bottle and stored for 12 weeks at temperatures of 20oC, 30oC and 40oC. Results showed that moisture content increased from 24.25% to 26.30 %, 26.17 % and 25.53 %; pH value was decreased from 3.92 to 3.73, 3.89 and 3.84, and sugar level was decreased from 74.77 % to 73.70 %, 72.60 %and 71.80 % respectively at the storage temperature of 20, 30 and 40 ° C.
