Production and degradation of hydrogen peroxide in honey. Hydrogen peroxide is produced from glucose by the action of glucose oxidase and non-enzymatically by polyphenols. Hydrogen peroxide is degraded to water and oxygen by enzymes and vitamin C, whereas it is degraded to hydroxyl and superoxide radicals through the Fenton reaction [16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23].
