“…In addition, Beretta et al, (2005) showed some values on unifloral and multifloral honey samples of Africa (52.2 to 789.6 mg/kg) and Bertoncelj et al (2007) on Slovakia honey samples (64 to 1304 µgGAE/g). Also, values raging between 226.2 and 727.8 mg/kg were reported in Portugal (Ferreira et al, 2009) and from 102.1 to 1085 mg/kg in the north-east of Brazil (Liberato et al, 2011). The main explanation for this difference could be linked to the unequal distribution of polyphenols both in quantity and quality across the different organs of a plant used by bees to produce honey.The amount of flavonoids in the samples collected in rainy (280 ± 31 µgCE/g) and dry seasons (528 ± 31 µgCE/g) displays a great variability within seasons (p < 0.05).…”

The aim of this study was to characterize polyphenolic compounds, antifungal and antioxidant activities of polyfloral honey collected from three different phytogeographical zones in Benin duing dry and rainy seasons. Spectrophotometrically at 517 nm, DPPH scavenging activity of tested samples was measured, while antifungal activity, total polyphenols, flavonoids and condensed tannins were evaluted by Dohou, Singleton and Zhishen methods, and a slightly modified method of Sun, respectively. Results revealed that only season has significant influence (P <0.05) on the flavonoids content and total phenols. The highest total phenols (781 ± 46 µgGAE/gs) and flavonoids (528 ± 31 µgCE/g) contents were obtained respectively from honey samples of the rainy and dry seasons. The samples collected in the rainy season in the three zones, have better antifungal activity than those collected in the dry season. The lowest IC 50 recorded was 27.58 ± 4.44 μg.µl -1 which showed that the highest antioxidant activity can be found in honey samples of the rainy season collected from the Sudanian zone. Overall, this study confirms that all investigated honey samples were good sources of polyphenolic compounds, and exhibit antifungal and antioxidant actvities.

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.
