The study aimed to evaluate the effect of drying on the functional quality of stingless bee (Heterotrigona itama) honey. The honey was subjected to vacuum drying (40–60°C), vacuum evaporation (40–60°C), and freeze drying, respectively, to achieve a standardized moisture content. The dehydrated honey...
