Solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatographic determination of organic acids in honey

Gelam Honey and Ginger Potentiate the Anti Cancer Effect of 5-FU against HCT 116 Colorectal Cancer Cells

“…Honey is a natural product of bees, rich in phenolic compounds and other essential vitamins and enzymes (Cherchi et al, 1994;Havsteen, 2002;Jaganathan and Mandal, 2009). Studies have indicated the range of health benefits of honey, which includes anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and wound healing activities (Kassim et al, 2010;Mohamed et al, 2010;Al-Waili et al, 2011;Hussein et al, 2012).…”

Determination of oxalic acid and other organic acids in honey and in some anatomic structures of bees

“…Similarly, there have been few determinations of oxalic acid in honey, because the acid elutes in the chromatographic front or overlaps with the first eluting peaks (Cherchi et al, 1994;Blanco et al, 1996; 182 M.J. Nozal et al Nozal et al, 1998). As a result, oxalic acid is not usually considered in the acid profile of honey.…”

Antioxidant Properties of Honey and Its Role in Preventing Health Disorder

“…A wide range of minor constituents is also present in honey, many of which are known to have antioxidant properties. These include phenolic acids and flavonoids [3,4], certain enzymes (glucose oxidase, catalase) [2], ascorbic acid [2], carotenoid-like substances [5], organic acids [6], Maillard reaction products [2], and amino acids and proteins [7]. The antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds might significantly contribute to the human health benefits of plant foods [8,9] and beverages such as red wine and tea [9][10][11].…”
