- Information flow and regulation of foraging activity in bumble bees (Bombus spp.) (2004, unknown): “Glucose oxidase, which limits microbial growth in honey (Weston, 2000), and invertase, which breaks down disaccharides into monosaccharides (Oddo et al., 1999), as well as prolin (an amino acid) were found in the bumble bee honey in similar levels as is known from honey bee honey (Fig.”
- Isolation and Identification of Phenolic Acids in Malaysian Honey with Antibacterial Properties (2003, background): “These observations could explain the results shown by Weston et al. (9), who found the antibacterial activity of honey was eluted with the carbohydrate fractions, whereas the phenolic fractions had no significant activity.”
- Quorum sensing inhibitory and antimicrobial activities of honeys and the relationship with individual phenolics (2009, background): “Furthermore, honey constituents such as sugars, volatiles, beeswax, nectar, pollen and propolis have also been characterised as responsible for the antimicrobial activity (Mundo et al., 2004; Weston, 2000).”
- A review of Leptospermum scoparium (Myrtaceae) in New Zealand (2005, background): “These components were found to account for little of the non-peroxide activity, and Weston (2000) suggested that the non-peroxide antibacterial effect was an additional peroxide effect and that the assay developed to remove peroxide from honey (Molan & Russell 1988) was consistently failing.”
- Honey: its medicinal property and antibacterial activity. (2011, background): “concentration is determined by relative levels of glucose oxidase, synthesized by the bee and catalase originating from flower pollen[41].”
- Identification and quantification of methylglyoxal as the dominant antibacterial constituent of Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) honeys from New Zealand. (2008, background): “oxide” antibacterial activity of Manuka honey [12], the chemistry behind this phenomenon still remains unclear.”
