Many articles claim that honey extracted using centrifugal honey extractors is of lower quality than comb honey, but they often fail to explain why. In traditional centrifugal extractors, honey is forced to the surface of the cells by centrifugal force, detaching in small droplets that hit the extractor's walls. This process creates an airflow, similar to a fan, mixing the honey with air. Anyone using a centrifugal extractor can observe tiny droplets of honey rising in the airflow when they lean in to look. This mixing leads to dispersion and oxidation, resulting in a flavor that is generally inferior to that of comb honey.
