A. L.  aPhysicochemical characteristics and sensory profile of honey samples from stingless bees (ApidaebMeliponinae) submitted to a dehumidification process.  c2009  aThis study was conducted to evaluate the effect of a dehumidification process on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of stingless-bee honey. Melipona scutellaris and M. quadrifasciata honey samples were submitted to a dehumidification process and to physicochemical (reducing sugars, apparent sucrose, moisture, diastatic activity, hydroxymethylfurfural, ash, pH, acidity, and electric conductivity) and sensory evaluations (fluidity, color, aroma, crystallization, flavor, and acceptability). The results indicated that the dehumidification process does not interfere with honey quality and acceptability.  aUmidade  aConservação do mel  aQualidade do mel1 aSODRÉ, G. S.1 aFONSECA, A. A.
