“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, of the University of Waikato, has been researching the special effect of Manuka Honey since 1985 together with the Waikato Honey Research Unit. He named this activity of Manuka Honey; UMF. This stands for Unique Manuka Factor. His groundbreaking work resulted in numerous scientific publications about the special effect of Manuka Honey; especially in the medical field. Professor Peter Molan’s publications on Manuka Honey mainly focused on various conditions, foreign bacteria and wound treatment. Professor Peter Molan already had a strong suspicion about this effect, but he and his team were unable to identify it at the time. Professor Peter Molan passed away in 2015 .
