Abstract

This study aimed to assess the quality of Chan Rong honey products in Songkhla Province, focusing on honey produced by community enterprises in the region. Our research involved a sample group comprising 25 community enterprises in Songkhla Province. The study encompassed an evaluation of both physical properties and microbial contamination. The results revealed that the pH values of the Chan Rong honey products ranged from 3.21 to 4.45, while the moisture content varied between 14.48% to 20.07%. Microbial contamination was also analyzed, including yeast and mold, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella sp., Bacillus cereus, and Clostridium perfringens in honey samples collected from the 25 community enterprise groups. Specifically, the findings indicated that yeast and mold levels ranged from less than 1 colony-forming unit per gram (CFU/g) to 9.0x104 CFU/g. Staphylococcus aureus was detected at less than 1 CFU/g. Bacillus cereus was found in amounts less than 1 CFU/g, and Clostridium perfringens was present at levels below 1 CFU/g, while Salmonella sp. was not detected in any of the samples. These research outcomes hold valuable insights for enhancing the capacity of local communities in the development of high-quality, safe Chan Rong honey for consumers.
