The Define Phase. The Define phase is the first phase of the Six Sigma or DMAIC methodology. It is probably the simplest phase but by no means unimportant. The direction your problem solving journey takes is very much dependent on this phase.
Honey Hotline Fact Sheet z Honey Crystallization z page 3/3 Cool temperatures [below 50Â°F (10Â°C)] are ideal for preventing crystallization. Moderate temperatures [50-70Â°F (10-21Â°C)] generally encourage crystallization. Warm temperatures [70-81Â°F (21-27Â°C)] discourage crystallization but degrade the honey. Very warm temperatures [over 81Â°F (27Â°C)] prevent crystallization but encourage spoilage by fermentation as well as degrading the honey. Mesquite + Processed honey should be stored between 64-75Â°F (18-24Â°C).
You do not have to boil them or use a chemical disinfectant. Pure honey keeps best in air-tight containers in a dry place at room temperature (70Â°F to 80Â°F). An air-tight cover is necessary because honey loses aroma and flavor and absorbs moisture and odors when exposed to air. Normally honey is low enough in water that no microorganisms can grow. But if moisture gets into it, it can dilute it and set up the right conditions for the growth of yeasts and molds.
