1.1 Introduction
Honey is defined as the natural sweet substance produced by honey bees from nectar of blossoms or from secretions of living parts of plants or excretions of plant sucking insects on the living part of plants, which honey bees collect, transform and combine with specific substances of their own, store and leave in the honey comb to ripen and mature (Mendes et al., 1998). Honey is a very important energy food and is used as an ingredient in hundreds of manufactured foods, mainly in cereal based products, for its sweetness, color, flavor, caramelization and viscosity (Rodriguez et al., 2004).
