The Codex Alimentarius Commission, in its Draft Provisional Standard34 (following definition and description, and subsidiary definitions and designations) has laid down certain compositional criteria. It is obvious that all definitions of honey so far discussed deal with two chemically and physically distinct commodities namely, nectar honey and honeydew honey. A comparison between the two shows that honeydew honey is lower in D-fructose and D-glucose and higher in pH, oligosaccharides, acidic components, ash, and nitrogen than nectar honey. 

For simple fluids, also known as Newtonian fluids, it is easy to predict the ease with which they will be poured, pumped, or mixed in either an industrial or end-use situation. This is because the shear viscosity or resistance to flow is a constant at any given temperature and pressure. The fluids that fall into this category are few and far between, because they are of necessity simple in structure. Examples are water, oils, and sugar solutions (e.g., honey unit hi.3), which have no dispersed phases and no molecular interactions. All other fluids are by definition non-Newtonian, so the viscosity is a variable, not a constant. Non-Newtonian fluids are of great interest as they encompass almost all fluids of industrial value. In the food industry, even natural products such as milk or polysaccharide solutions are non-Newtonian. 

This is a synthetic perfume having a definite penetrating odor of narcissus and is used in many perfumes of the lily, lilac, and honey suckle type. 

The viscosity is a measure of resistance to flow. If we tip over a glass of water on the table, the water will spill out before we can stop it. If we tip over a jar of honey, we probably can set it upright again before much honey flows out this is possible because the honey has much greater resistance to flow, more viscosity, than water. A more precise definition of viscosity is possible in terms of the following experiment.
