Although direct measurement of HMF is tricky, measurement of glucose oxidase
activity can give a good indication.
This is done by diluting honey waiting for the glucose oxidase to form
hydrogen peroxide and using calibrated indicator stick to measure the
hydrogen peroxide content.

honey
is above or below this level.
