Introduction

|
|
|
|

The key information a
consumer wants about any consumable product is the strength of its key
ingredient.
For alcohol products, for example, no one wants to know the specific
gravity or the trace elements in the water, they want to know the amount of
the key ingredient - ie the alcohol!

In 1990 or
thereabouts, Professor Peter Molan of Waikato University discovered that
Manuka Honey has a stable antibacterial effect. However it was not until 15 years later
that Professor Henle of the Technical University of Dresden discovered the
active ingredient was methylglyoxal (MGO).
Kerry Paul worked with Professor Henle's team to commercialise this
scientific discovery, thereby becoming the pioneer of the MGO Manuka Honey
Rating System. This is recognised as a credible rated system that sorts
product by its key active ingredient, ie its antibacterial
activity.
