ABSTRACT Creamed honey has high added value. During its processing, the mixing conditions of macerated crystal seeds with liquid honey can influence crystallization and product creaminess. Therefore, the effects of propeller type (Naval and ARA‐S) and stirring speed (180 and 360 rpm) in a mechanical stirrer on the rheological, physicochemical, and sensory properties of creamed honey were evaluated. The physicochemical characteristics of the products complied with the limits established by the Codex Alimentarius. The creamed honeys exhibited typical pseudoplastic flow curves ( R 2 > 0.9997 and RMSE 0.9978 and RMSE 0.9632 and RMSE 0.05) among treatments in terms of hysteresis area. Oscillatory rheological data revealed a liquid‐like behavior (viscous modulus ( G ″) > elastic modulus ( G ′)) for the creamed honeys. Both G ′ and G ″ were significantly affected ( p 0.05) among treatments, and superior ( p < 0.05) scores compared with naturally granulated honey. Overall, these findings offer honey producers practical guidance to optimize processing and enhance sector profitability by supporting the commercialization of a higher‐quality, value‐added product.
