<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The effect honey has on light is useful for determining the type and quality. Variations in its water content alter its [[refractive index]]. Water content can easily be measured with a [[refractometer]]. Typically, the refractive index for honey ranges from 1.504 at 13% water content to 1.474 at 25%. Honey also has an effect on [[polarized light]], in that it rotates the polarization plane. The fructose gives a negative rotation, while the glucose gives a positive one. The overall rotation can be used to measure the ratio of the mixture. Honey is generally pale yellow and dark brown in color, but other colors can occur, depending on the sugar source. Bee colonies that forage on [[Kudzu]] ([[Pueraria montana var. lobata|''Pueraria montana'' var. ''lobata'']]) flowers, for example, produce honey that varies in color from red to purple.</div>FuzzyBot
