Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the physio-chemical properties of four Indian and Yemeni types of honey Coorg and Kashmiri honey (India), Sidr and Acacia honey (Yemen). The honey samples appeared to conform to the European Legislation (EC Directive 2001) for most of the parameters. The moisture content of the samples varied between 13.5 to 19.5g/100g, Indian honey were the highest moisture content. PH values ranged between 4.7 to 5.6, all tested samples were light acidic. Electrical conductivity ranged from 0.13 to 1.4mS /cm. The color intensity values ranged between 137.3 to 624.7mAU. HMF content fluctuated between 15.4 to 19.9 mg / kg. The ash content varied from 0.05 to 0.68%. The total protein content varied between 0.61 to 1.9 %. The diastase activity values ranged between 9.6 to 11.9 DN.  The Kashmiri honey showed the highest value of reducing sugars (64.6 g/100g), while Acacia honey showed the lowest value (59.9 g/100 g) The estimated fructose/glucose ratio for all investigated samples was ranged from 1. 03 to 1.37 and estimated glucose/water ratio was ranged from 1.48 to 1.90. Potassium was found to be the predominant mineral in all honey tested. The highest Potassium content (2176.4 mg/kg) was found in Sidr Yemeni honey. The heavy metals were not detected in all honey samples, that the tested honey was safe for human consumption. The results suggest that Indian and Yemeni honey could be beneficially used as a functional or nutraceutical substance.
一些印度和也门蜂蜜的物理化学特性
本研究旨在评价印度和也门四种蜂蜜的理化性质,包括印度的库格蜂蜜和克什米尔蜂蜜,也门的锡德尔蜂蜜和金合欢蜂蜜。蜂蜜样品似乎符合欧洲立法(EC指令2001)的大多数参数。样品的水分含量在13.5 ~ 19.5g/100g之间,印度蜂蜜的水分含量最高。PH值在4.7到5.6之间,所有的测试样品都是浅酸性的。电导率范围为0.13 ~ 1.4mS /cm。颜色强度值在137.3 ~ 624.7mAU之间。HMF含量在15.4 ~ 19.9 mg / kg之间波动。灰分含量在0.05 ~ 0.68%之间。总蛋白质含量在0.61 ~ 1.9%之间。淀粉酶活性在9.6 ~ 11.9 DN之间。克什米尔蜂蜜的还原糖含量最高(64.6 g/100g),而金合欢蜂蜜的还原糖含量最低(59.9 g/100g)。葡萄糖/水比值在1.48到1.90之间。钾被发现是所有蜂蜜中主要的矿物质。Sidr也门蜂蜜的钾含量最高(2176.4 mg/kg)。没有在所有蜂蜜样本中检测到重金属,因此测试的蜂蜜可供人类安全食用。结果表明,印度和也门蜂蜜可以作为一种有益的功能或营养物质。
