Kamkar A, Gheitanchi F, Akbarein H, Miakhil A., Physicochemical and
antioxidant properties of honey from different locations, Onl
J Vet Res., 24(7): 428-433, 2020. Physico-chemical properties and antioxidant levels in honey depend on bee flower
suckling from different locations. We report moisture content, pH, acidity, ash, sugars, sucrose, phenols and
antioxidants in honey collected from Fars, Esfahan, Tehran, Azarbaijan
and Ardabil, Iran. pH ranged
4.08-4.46,
acidity 7.5-20 mEq/kg, moisture 14.6-19.2%, ash 0.11-0.6%, = hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF)
4.34-19.31 mg/kg,
reduced sugars 67.07-89.55%, sucrose 1.37-5.09%, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazy
(DPPH) 30.89-77.52% and phenols 11.9-52.18 mg/100g. We found significant differences (P < 0.05) in pH, acidity, moisture, ash, HMF, reduced
sugar, DPPH and phenolic content between different regions of producing honey
but not with sucrose. Our
results are consistent with previous findings and CODEX standards.
