I asked one of the authors, (not Shona Blair) did the peroxide result
from the honey or the enzyme added by bees. In also asked another
researcher doing much the same work the same question. I have two
opposing answers, so am none the wiser, nor better informed.
In the "Medi Honey' mentioned previously the active ingredient is
methylglyoxal, which I understand is a common plant chemical.
