Abstract EN
This study was conducted with the aim of determining the chemical, biochemical properties, and antimicrobial capabilities of some of the monofloral honeys produced in Turkey.
In this study, 23 different monofloral honey samples were obtained from diverse geographical regions of Turkey.
Floral origin of the honey samples was determined by melissopalinological analyses.
Additionally, antioxidant properties were determined.
To determine the antioxidant properties of honey samples, four test methods of total phenolic content, DPPH, iron reduction power and b-carotene linoleic acid emulsion method were used.
As a result of the antioxidant activity analysis among the honey samples, rhododendron and parsley honey showed most prominent results in terms of the amount of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity.
On the other hand, acacia and citrus honey samples showed least antioxidant activity.
A positive correlation was determined between four methods.
Differences between antioxidant activities of honey samples were significantly found (P < 0.01).
