Mānuka’s Unique Antimicrobial Activity

Mānuka’s Unique Antimicrobial Activity

In most honeys, the antimicrobial activity comes from the hydrogen peroxide content that is produced by the
enzyme glucose oxidase (Mandal & Mandal, 2011). But with honeys like mānuka, we know there is another
activity source that does not come from hydrogen peroxide. This activity is called non-peroxide activity (NPA).
