Abstract EN

This study was conducted in laboratories of agriculture college in Damascus university by collecting 14 randomized samples of mountain honeybees from three districted and rounds area ( Latakia, Homs and Damascus) during 2017 to determine chemical properties ( moisture, Ashes, sugar ( fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose) and 5- hydroxymethyforforal (5-HMF).

Results reveal that mountain honeybees in Damascus was low in moisture ( 13.69%) , high in total acids (22.91 meq/kg ), high in total sugar( 78.19%) and low in ashes (0.29%) when compared with Latakia and Homs districts and rounds area .

HPLC analysis of sugar showed high fructose (40.51%), high sucrose( 4.19%) and low maltose (3%) in Damascus district and rounds when it compared to Latakia.

5- HMF was the highest value ( 36.97 mg/kg)in Latakia than the others.

However, all the samples were accepted by Syrian standard with low value.
