    • Weaker the antibacterial effect

    • Stronger the antibacterial effect

    • Deeper the antibacterial effect

    • Lighter the antibacterial effect

    Correct Answer
    A. Stronger the antibacterial effect
    Explanation
    The higher the concentration of MG/MGO (methylglyoxal), the stronger the antibacterial effect. This means that as the concentration of MG/MGO increases, the ability to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria becomes more potent. This suggests that MG/MGO has a direct correlation with its antibacterial properties, with higher concentrations being more effective in fighting against bacteria.

    • Apis cerana

These bees are known for their ability to produce honey, and they are widely used in beekeeping for honey production. Mānuka honey specifically comes from bees that gather nectar from the mānuka tree, a native plant in New Zealand. The bees collect the nectar, process it in their bodies, and then deposit it in the hive where it eventually turns into honey.

    Manuka contains naturally occurring hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidizing agent that has antimicrobial properties. It can help in killing bacteria and other microorganisms, making it an effective ingredient for wound healing and skincare products. Manuka honey, which is derived from the nectar of the Manuka tree, is known for its high levels of hydrogen peroxide, making it beneficial for its antibacterial and healing properties.

    Manuka honey has effect on conditions which include the following except...

    • High cholesterol

    • Diabetes

    • Cancer

    • Ulcer

    Correct Answer
    A. Ulcer
    Explanation
    Manuka honey has been found to have various health benefits, including its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It has been used to treat wounds, soothe sore throats, and improve digestive issues. However, there is limited evidence to suggest that Manuka honey has a direct effect on ulcers. Ulcers are typically caused by factors such as infection, stress, or certain medications, and require specific medical treatment. While Manuka honey may have some general health benefits, it is not commonly recommended as a treatment for ulcers.
