| Sumario: | Analysis of honey produced in the western part of Turkey was carried out in this
study. Fifty honey samples, collected from the local market in this region were analyzed
for their physicochemical parameters including hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), electrical
conductivity, sucrose, free acidity, moisture and water insoluble impurities, in addition
to pathogenic microorganisms present. HMF amounts determined in 47 samples
were found to be between 1.9 and 98.0 mg/kg with good reproducibilities (%RSD:
3.2% or better). There were no pathogenic microorganisms in any of the investigated
samples. Electrical conductivity that gives information about their mineral contents was
measured, and the mean value was found to be 0.33 mS/cm (N=34). In general, most
of the samples were considered to meet the requirements of Turkish Food Codex and
European Commission Directives. |
