Glucose-oxidase (hydrogen-peroxide ) can easy be detected

http://www.xs4all.nl/~jtemp/H2O2.html

Glucose-oxidase (H2O2/HMF) determination is found zero then:
        - the honey was heated too long or at too high a temperature.
        - if the honey contains vitamin C, the H2 O2 is used to oxidize the vitamin, and the amount of H2 O2 is less.
Thijm(Thymus spp.) and Mint(Mentha spp.) honey contains vitamin C.
        - if the honey contains the enzyme katalase, the katalase is used to split the H2 O2 (into water and oxygen). Katalase
is a component of some pollen.
