Manuka Doctor Honey
What does MGO mean in Manuka Honey ?
The number on
the front of the pot represents the mg per kg of MGO (Methylglyoxal) and
the related strength of Antimicrobial Activity, which is known to kill
certain types of bacteria. The greater the number, the stronger the
Antimicrobial Activity.
MGO is related to the strength of the Manuka
Honey. The strength of Manuka Doctor honey is measured using the MGO
grading system from 40 MGO to 525 MGO. Scientists generally agree that
MGO is the best way to establish a honey’s antimicrobial (bacteria
killing) strength.
So put simply, the MGO number refers to the
amount of methylglyoxal per kilogram. For example Manuka Doctor 525 MGO
has 525mg per kg of MGO in the pot.
What is Methylglyoxal in Honey?
MGO in Manuka Honey is derived from dihydroxyacetone (DHA) which is
naturally present in the nectar of the Manuka Bush. Within the hive DHA
undergoes the Maillard reaction to form MGO, a process which is driven
by the higher temperatures found within bee hives.
