Antioxidant activity and physicochemical characteristics of honeys from the eastern Amazon region, Brazil

Abstract: RESUMO O mel é um produto natural que apresenta várias propriedades benéficas para a saúde, tais como atividade antinflamatória, antioxidante e antimicrobiana, as quais dependem de sua composição. Neste contexto, as propriedades físico-químicas (cor, pH, conteúdo de cinzas, umidade, açúcares e compostos fenólicos totais) e a atividade antioxidadente (capacidade de remoção do radical DPPH) de méis de abelhas Apis mellifera de Santarém, na principal região de produção de mel na Amazônia Oriental, Brasil, foram a… Show more

“…Acidity and pH showed slight variations from one honey to another. The pH confirms the acidic nature of the honey but was relatively high in all honey types, probably related to the pH of the nectar used by honeybees (Bandeira et al 2018). Color and electrical conductivity were the parameters that contributed most to distinguishing the monofloral honey types (Figure 4).…”

“…In the evaluated honey collections, we determined the sugar content in the range from 66.51% (S34 Multiflorous -Ivano-Frankivsk) to 98.78% (S25 Sunflower -Zhytomyr). Bandeira et al (2018) determined in the honey collection the content of sugars in the range of 62.87-91.56%.…”

“…Um fator que deve estar relacionado às diferentes respostas dos méis (dimensão dos halos de inibição) frente aos microrganismos Gram-positivos neste trabalho é a diferente distribuição dos compostos fenólicos encontrados em todas as amostras, como o ácido rosmarínico, apigenina, crisina e caempferol (BANDEIRA et al, 2018).…”
