- Manuka is an excellent coloniser of
bare ground. As a result, for many years it was thought
of as a weed on agricultural land as the plants started the first part
of the process of succession, taking bare grassland eventually to full
mature forest. Currently manuka has some economic uses, as a source of
nectar for bees to produce manuka honey, as firewood and for the manuka
oil from the leaves. -
Manuka essential oil is ten to thirty
times more bioactive in its antiviral, antifungal and bactericidal
characteristics across a wide spectrum of classes of organisms.
-
The Manuka leaves are hand cut and steam
infused at ambient pressure. The resulting oils have a light green/amber
hue.The main constituents are caryophyllene, geraniol, pinene, linalol
and humulene.
- Manuka honey is used in health and
medical products and commands a significant price premium over regular
honey due to its unique anti-bacterial qualities
-
The premium pricing and popularity of
manuka honey has led to a number of ‘me too’ products appearing that
risks undermining the value of the product and brand. New Zealand’s
Ministry for Primary Industries is in the process of formulating
standards to clearly classify manuka honey, although this process is in
its early stage
