In this study, the phenolic component of pine honey which is a secretion honey type were studied. Total polyphenol content and total flavanoid contents of the pine honeys were ranged from 30 to 52 mg GAE/100 g and 0.86 to 1.58 mg QE/100 g, respectively. The phenolic composition of the honeys were analyzed by HPLC-UV assay with C18 column. The honey was found to be rich in protocatehuic acid, chrysin, caffeic acid phenyl ester, p-OH benzoic acid, catechine, luteolin and gallic acid. Bu çalışmada, bir salgı balı olan çam balının fenolik bileşenleri incelendi. Balların toplam polifenol içeriği ve toplam flavanoid içeriği sırasıyla 30 ile 52 mg GAE / 100 g ve 0.86 ile 1.58 mg QE / 100 g arasında olduğu görüldü. Balların fenolik bileşimi, HPLC-UV ile analiz edildi. Balların protokatekuik asit, krisin, kafeik asit fenil ester, p-OH benzoik asit, kateşin, luteolin ve gallik asit bakımından zengin olduğu bulundu.

PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF ENCENILLO MONOFLORAL HONEY FROM HIGHLANDS ANDEAN ZONES INBOYACÁ, COLOMBIA. Honey is the natural product with sweetening properties more widely known, is produced by bees from the nectar of flowers and secretions from the plants. Its physicochemical properties depend on the season of harvest, environmental factors prevailing in the harvest period and the biogeographic zones. The aim of this work was focused in honeys produced by Weinmannia tomentosa from highlands andean of Colombia, that were characterized on melissopalynology, sensory attributes, composition, physicochemical properties and volatile compounds. Pollen grains at the samples were greater than 45%, conferring a quality of monofloral. Color pfund 69.0 ± 1.00, pH and total acidity 3.87 ± 0.04; 31.8 ± 1.40 meq kg . Tabouret´s index 3.75 ± 0.06 based on 1.35 ± 0.03 relationship fructose/glucose and 0.604 ± 0.050 water activity. Honey show a Newtonian´s behavior. GC/MS analysis permitted to identify 25 volatile compounds, between alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, hydrocarbons, furans, nitriles, sulfide and terpenes. The study is related as a model for characterization of types of honey and consolidated as the first research on unifloral honey in Colombia.

It was estimated that the specific optical rotation of the Robinia honeys was (-) 17.0 ± 1.2, which was similar to previously reported values (33,40).…”

Review ArticleThe Bulgarian dendrofl ora consists of 359 species, including 368 infraspecific taxa (60 subspecies, 200 varieties and 108 forms) (28,39). There are about 770 species of medicinal plants constituting 20% of the Bulgarian flora. Of these, 200 are currently in use and over 250 herbal drugs are derived from them and presently used in the prophylaxis and medicine, cosmetics and the food industry (24). Bulgarian medicinal plants have a broad diversity of species, rich composition of active ingredients and most of them are nectariferous with great importance for bees.The aim of this work was, based on the data from available literature to provide a summary of the scientifi c information related to the main types of bee honey in Bulgaria in the fi rst decade of the 21 st century More than 3600 varieties of higher plants are found in Bulgaria, which is a good predisposition for the production of different types of bee honey. In the country 11 natural and 3 national parks were registered, where many different kinds of plants can be found, some of them unique in the world. Up till now, more than 11 types of bee honey have been harvested and investigated. The aim of this work was, based on the data from available literature to provide a summary of the scientifi c information related to the main types of bee honey in Bulgaria from 2000 to the present. In the study, we present quality parameters from organically produced and commercially processed bee honeys: pollen analysis, proline content, invertase activity, specifi c optical rotation, electrical conductivity, antioxidant and antibacterial activities.
