Titel Australian manuka honey a medicinal powerhouse
Subtitel The Antibacterial Activity of Australian Leptospermum Honey Correlates with Methylglyoxal Levels
Author  Cokcetin NN, et al.
Abstract
Australian manuka honey is at least as powerful against bacteria as the more commonly known New Zealand variety, researchers have found.

 
 

A team led by Professor Liz Harry at UTS has studied more than 80 honey samples from NSW and Queensland flowering manuka (Leptospermum) trees and found the nectar-derived chemical that gives NZ manuka honey its unique antibacterial properties is present in Australian varieties.

The ground-breaking research also shows the antibacterial properties of honey remain unchanged over several years when stored appropriately.

"These findings put Australian manuka honey on the international radar at a time when antibiotic resistance is recognised as a global crisis," said Dr Nural Cokcetin, of the ithree institute at UTS, a lead author of the study which also includes collaborators at the University of Sydney and the University of the Sunshine Coast.

"All honeys have different flavours and medicinal properties, depending on the flowers bees visit for nectar. What makes manuka honey so special is the exceptionally high level of stable antibacterial activity that arises from a naturally occurring compound in the nectar of manuka flowers. It's the ingredient we know acts against golden staph and other superbugs resistant to current antibiotics.
