Description
Summary:Honey is a very complex biological compound with very wide diversity, giving it a multitude of properties, both nutritionally as therapeutically. In order to determine its physical and chemical characteristics, five types of honey were collected from the region of Tadla-Azilal of Morocco. The five honey types were eucalyptus honey, thyme honey, asparagus honey, carob honey and multi flowers honey. The samples were analyzed for determination of pH, water content, electrical conductivity, ash content, acidity, hydroxymethylfurfural content, diastase index and sugar content. The results have shown that there were differences from a honey sample to another and they all meet the international standards. These physicochemical parameters are the most frequently used as best indicators of the quality and stability of honey and have a great influence on honey organoleptic properties.
