Comparison of Optimal Results with Commercial Powdered Honey
This research will obtain optimal results from data verification.
Based on the verification results, a 70% honey percentage and a drying temperature of 55°C were used. The verified data were
compared with control results, namely 51 raw liquid acacia honey samples before processing and commercial powdered honey
available on the market.

The comparison in Table 3.9 above shows the comparison of optimum results at 70% 55oC with raw acacia liquid honey and
commercial powdered honey on the market. In the IC50 value, it can be seen that the results show that the optimum results have a
value of 18.88 mg/ml compared to raw acacia honey which is 10.86 mg/ml, which is classified as a very strong IC50 because the
value is less than 50. Meanwhile, for commercial powdered honey on the market, the IC50 value is 67.62, so the activity is still
higher. antioxidants in powdered honey 70% and 55oC. According to [6], the greater the percentage of liquid honey used, the greater
the IC50 value. Furthermore, for reducing sugar, the optimum value is 68%, liquid honey is 57%, so reducing sugar will increase
when drying. Compared to commercial powdered honey on the market, the reducing sugar is very low, namely 28%. The optimum
result for the diastase enzyme is 3.35 and raw acacia liquid honey has a value of 7.16, so the diastase enzyme tends to be damaged
or decreased when drying the liquid honey. Meanwhile, acacia powdered honey has a diastase enzyme value which tends to be very
low, only having a DN value of 1.5.
IV. Conclusion
Optimization results with 2 factors, namely the percentage of liquid honey and drying temperature and 3 responses, namely reducing
sugar, diastase enzyme, and IC50. This research obtained optimal results at a honey percentage of 70% and a vacuum drying
temperature of 55oC. The optimal response at IC50 is 18.88 mg/ml, reducing sugar is 68%, and the diastase enzyme has a DN value
of 3.35. So, from this research it can be seen that the best formulation is to obtain powdered honey with optimal chemical quality
and is not damaged even though processing is carried out in the form of vacuum drying.
