What the studies agree on ABOUT LITCHI HONEY

  • Physicochemical quality: litchi/lychee honey samples typically meet international honey limits on moisture, sugars, ash, HMF in reported studies. entomoljournal.com+1

  • Antioxidants / phenolics: Several studies report moderate-to-high total phenolic and flavonoid content, translating into measurable antioxidant capacity (DPPH/FRAP/TEAC assays). Some tropical honeys (including lychee types in Vietnam/Thailand) can have phenolic levels comparable to or higher than some Manuka samples in certain assays. MDPI+1

  • Antibacterial activity: Lychee honey shows in vitro antibacterial effects (disc diffusion, MIC), sometimes synergistic with antibiotics. However, activity profile and potency vary greatly by sample and are not tied to a known, single chemical marker like Manuka’s MGO

What the studies agree on ABOUT LITCHI HONEY

  • Lychee honey’s activity is mostly attributed to polyphenols/flavonoids and Hâ‚‚Oâ‚‚-mediated activity, not MGO. That usually means good antioxidant capacity but variable antibacterial potency compared to high-UMF Manuka.

Quick “takeaway” you can share with friends

Litchi (lychee) honey — studied across South and Southeast Asia — shows robust antioxidant content and measurable in-vitro antibacterial activity, largely linked to phenolics/flavonoids and peroxide activity.


It can be comparable to some Manuka samples in antioxidant assays, but Manuka’s distinctive clinical antibacterial reputation is linked to methylglyoxal (MGO/UMF), a marker not characteristic of lychee honey; thus direct therapeutic parity with Manuka is not yet established.
