Point of interest. Honey is made up of some eighty substances of importance to the human organism, but consists mainly of sugars (glucose and laevulose or fructose). Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides easily assimilated into the body, unlike cane sugar or beet sugar that has to be broken down by the small intestines in order to enter the blood stream. Honey has been found to countain the following enzymes: diastase, invertase, saccharase, catalase, peroxidase, and lipase. Its enzymatic content is one of the highest of all foods. Diastase (or amylase) converts starch and dextrin into sugar; saccharase converts beet and cane sugar into glucose and fructose; and catalase decomposes peroxides.
