In this study, the Melghat honey samples were analyzed for their nutritional and chemical
properties. The samples were collected from four different locations in Melghat in the year 2019.
A number of factors such as carbohydrates, energy, sugar profile, protein, HMF, acidity, iron,
calcium, and sodium were detected. The data was compared to published data and specifications
given in the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) manual. The data confirmed that the honey samples
from Melghat fell into the category of special grade as specified by BIS. It is concluded that the
Melghat honey is of outstanding value, with good healing and antimicrobial properties. It is very
less susceptible to fermentation, very pure, and unadulterated. There is a requirement for more
studies to discover the assortment of properties of Melghat honey for its commercialization.
