    The table above shows the approximate equivalencies between UMF, MGO, NPA, and TA that have broad industry acceptance. [6]

     

    TA, NPA, and MGO are not grading systems. They are measurements of specific markers in honey.

    A grading system implies a single, standardised quality scale. What exists in medicinal honey is instead a set of laboratory measurements, each capturing a different aspect of the honey’s composition or activity. Treating them as equivalent “grades” leads to widespread misunderstanding.

    Understanding the relationship between these measurements is essential for comparing honeys accurately.

    TA = hydrogen peroxide activity + non-peroxide activity. It captures everything. For honeys like Jarrah, which derive their antimicrobial power primarily from hydrogen peroxide, the TA value reflects the honey’s full medicinal potency. For Manuka honey, TA includes both its MGO-driven non-peroxide activity and any hydrogen peroxide activity present.

    UMF™ = a trademarked label for NPA in New Zealand Manuka honey. It is not a separate measurement system – it is NPA certified under a specific trademark. UMF™ ratings apply exclusively to New Zealand Manuka honey.

    NPA = non-peroxide activity only. It is the portion of TA that remains after hydrogen peroxide is removed by catalase. For Manuka honey, NPA is the dominant component. For Jarrah honey, NPA is typically negligible because its activity comes from hydrogen peroxide.

    MGO = the amount of methylglyoxal in the honey. It predicts NPA reliably but measures a chemical concentration, not antimicrobial performance directly.

Bush food plants and fungi of the South-West of Western Australia

Preserving Indigenous Knowledge: Bush Tucker of the Noongar People
Authors: Vivienne Hansen and John Horsfall

Description:
Discover the rich heritage of bush tucker with Preserving Indigenous Knowledge: Bush Tucker of the Noongar People by Vivienne Hansen and John Horsfall. This comprehensive guide explores over 260 species of edible plants and fungi traditionally gathered by the Noongar people of the Bibbulmun Nation in southwestern Western Australia.

Before European colonization, Aboriginal Australians thrived on a diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean meats, living in a largely disease-free environment with ample exercise and supportive communities. However, today, Aboriginal communities face higher rates of chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. This book seeks to preserve vital bush tucker knowledge to ensure it remains accessible for future generations of both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians.

The detailed descriptions in this book highlight the significance of these plants and fungi, many of which are now scarce due to land clearing and modern agricultural practices. With a focus on natural history and cultural preservation, this book is an essential resource for those interested in Aboriginal studies and Australian natural history.
