“A grading system must be scientifically sound, based on a method that has been published and can be used in laboratories. This is certainly the case for the MGO Manuka Honey classification”
Quote from Professor Thomas Henle – discoverer MGO – University of Dresden (Germany)
Professor Thomas Henle, affiliated with the Technical University of Dresden, made a groundbreaking discovery in 2006 by establishing the link between Methylglyoxal (MGO) and the distinctive bioactive properties found in Manuka Honey. Since then, his research has led to the publication of numerous scientific works that delve into the fascinating world of Manuka Honey.
"Testing for Methylglyoxal is a clear and unambiguous way to let consumers know that the unique high-quality and natural bio-active effect of this honey is really, special and exclusively applicable to the MGO Manuka Honey."
Quote from Professor Peter Molan – discoverer UMF – University of Waikato (New Zealand)
Professor Peter Molan, in collaboration with the Waikato Honey Research Unit at the University of Waikato, embarked on a remarkable journey of discovery in 1985 to unravel the unique properties of Manuka Honey. This pioneering research led to the introduction of the term "UMF," which stands for Unique Manuka Factor, to describe the distinct bioactive characteristics of Manuka Honey. Professor Molan's groundbreaking work in the field of Manuka Honey resulted in numerous scientific publications, with a primary focus on its applications in the medical domain, including its effectiveness against various conditions, foreign bacteria, and wound treatment. While Professor Peter Molan had strong suspicions about the unique effects of Manuka Honey, the exact nature of these properties remained elusive during his lifetime. His contributions to the understanding of Manuka Honey's benefits have left an enduring legacy in the field, despite his passing in 2015.
Professor Terao collaborated closely to advance the development of cyclodextrin-enhanced natural antibacterial substances and products. Their research extended to the exploration of propolis and Manuka honey from New Zealand, shedding light on the unique properties and potential applications of these natural substances.
Dr. Robert Laheij is actively involved in research focused on Manuka Honey as a supportive product for gastrointestinal health, particularly benefiting the stomach and intestines.
