Abstract - For 115 honeys, comparing electrical conductivities at 20 °C in solutions containing 10.00 g of honey dissolved in 75 ml of water (x), used to determine pH and acidity type, and solutions containing 20% dry matter (y) revealed a linear relation represented by y = 1.50x (r = 0.9998). On this basis, solution electrical conductivity, pH and acidity type can be measured without data on honey moisture content.
