Abstract
Australian honeys from three floral sources were exposed to gamma-radiation doses of 0–25 kilogray. The radiation treatment caused slight reductions in Pfund colour grade and diastase number but 5-hydroxymethyl- furfural levels decreased substantially to an extent depending on dose level.Keywords
