Abstract
- Honeybee products are highly valued food products in the nutrition and medicine.This work aims to determine physicochemical parameters of polyfloral and sunflower honey, which are produced in Bulgaria. Twelve sunflower and 17 polyfloral honey samples were used in this study. The parameters color, water content, electrical conductivity, specific optical rotation, pH, proline, invertase, diastase, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) were analyzed. Bulgarian sunflower and polyfloral honeys were characterized by main physicochemical parameters and compared to products from other countries. The color correlates with the electrical conductivity and diastase correlates with invertase in the sunflower honey. The results of the present study indicated that Bulgarian sunflower and polyfloral honey are known for its good quality since the criteria that were closely correlated with the honey’s quality were measured.
