Patanjali Honey Research Published in Prestigious International Journal
Haridwar, February 11, 2026: Patanjali Ayurved has reinforced its dedication to quality, purity, and consumer safety through the publication of a comprehensive scientific study on Patanjali Honey in Applied Food Research, a highly respected international peer-reviewed journal published by Elsevier. This research provides robust scientific validation of the company's stringent quality standards and purity benchmarks, marking a significant milestone for the Indian FMCG sector.
Advanced Analytical Techniques Confirm Purity
The study meticulously evaluated 25 distinct batches of Patanjali Honey using state-of-the-art analytical methods, including:
- High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
- High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC)
- Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC)
Published on Science Direct under the title "Integrating high-performance analytical approaches for phytochemical fingerprinting, quantification, and validation of commercial honey across multiple distinct batches," the findings conclusively demonstrate that Patanjali Honey contains no external sugars, synthetic syrups, or harmful chemical residues. All tested batches fully comply with the food safety and quality standards established by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).
Remarkable Batch Consistency and Quality Control
The research highlights exceptional batch-to-batch consistency, reflecting a robust industrial-grade quality control system that spans the entire supply chain—from raw material sourcing to final packaging. This consistency underscores Patanjali's commitment to maintaining uniform quality across all production cycles.
Leadership Perspectives on the Achievement
Acharya Balkrishna, Managing Director of Patanjali Ayurved, emphasized the company's guiding principle: "Patanjali practices what it advocates—this has always been our guiding principle. Our mission is to protect the nation from the threat of adulteration, and we remain steadfast in fulfilling this responsibility." He noted that Indian food products often face skepticism globally, adding, "The publication of this research in a reputed international journal proves that India is capable of achieving world-class research and quality standards—and that these standards are actively being realized. This achievement is a matter of pride not only for Patanjali but for the entire Indian FMCG sector."
Dr. Anurag Varshney, Chief Scientist at Patanjali, explained that the study employed internationally recognized testing methodologies to ensure a comprehensive evaluation. "Our primary objective is to deliver safe, pure, and scientifically validated products to consumers. We consistently apply globally acknowledged analytical standards and remain committed to continuous research that meets international benchmarks," he stated.
