Examination of some biochemical properties of honeys in Mutki (Bitlis-Turkey)

Abstract

In this study, the sugar content, total phenolic content, flavonoid types and levels of Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), proline of honey samples collected from Bitlis-Mutki were analyzed. According to the sugar analysis of samples of honey, it was found that arabinose, fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose. In the honey examples, the level of glucose and fructose maximum, sucrose minimum level were determined. In addition, two comparative antioxidant assays, namely DPPH and ABTS radicals scavenging assay, were applied to detect the antioxidant power of honeys. The antioxidant and chemical properties in Bitlis-Mutki's  honeys the make them products of high added value and excellent quality. In conclusion, it was observed that the results were in accordance with the EU standards as well as the Turkish Food Codex Honey Notification.
