Description
Liquid honey is bulked in metal drums internally lacquered to prevent adverse reaction. Leakage, leading to weight loss, results from physical damage to containers and such damage may allow entry of water, which would give rise to fermentation.
Honey proved by test to be affected by excessive heat would be down-graded for industrial use at a low price. Comb honey in domestic packs would suffer leakage by melting was at high temperatures (in excess of 50°C), but leakage by crushing of cartons and contamination of adjacent packs is the more common.
