AB A new original application for a polyacrylic film based on the monomers 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (NNDA), 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (2HEA) and methylmethacrylate (MMA) as a starch azure container has been set up for a simple determination of honey diastase activity. The proposed method is based on the correlation of reducing sugars generated during the enzymatic process with the Schade reference assay. The polyacrylic film is charged with starch azure acting as a container for this substance; thus, the starch does not interfere in the measurement of reducing sugars, so that the diastase activity is easily calculated. The method has been contrasted with Schade method, showing good correlation and differences under 0.4% between methods in some honey samples. The polyacrylic film has great potential for the routine honey diastase activity assessment in small laboratories, dramatically reducing analysis time and cost.
