“…The maximum permissible reference value for the content of substances insoluble in water for meadow and acacia honey is 0.1 g /100g, the values obtained in all four beekeeping regions vary between 0.010 g/100g and 0.028 g100/g, which is in accordance with the criteria for physico-chemical parameters of honey established by regulations (Official Gazette BiH, 2009, 2011. Results are in accordance with results published for research in the Balkan region (Vranić et al, 2017. Matović et al, 2018.…”

“…Some authors state that EC is in relationship with measurements of ash and acid (El Sohaimy et al 2015). In our research free acids were higher in meadow honey compared to acacia honey, which agrees with other published papers (Cirić et al 2018, Vranić et al, 2017. The hydroxymethylfurfural parameter in honey represents damage caused by heating, it is usually absent in fresh and untreated honey (Matović et al, 2018).…”

“…The water content of acacia honey of the Herzegovina region is 16.54 % and in the region of Romania 17.34, 16,50 % for the meadow honey in Krajina and 16.25 % in the Doboj region. Results are in accordance with another published research (Mirjanić and Mladenović, 2012;El Sohaimy et al, 2015;Vranić et al, 2017;Ciric et al, 2018). The water content affects the significant physical properties of honey, such as crystallisation and viscosity (Bilić, 2013).…”

“…Results indicated that honey from different regions was of a good quality; results are not in agreement with the Ciric et al (2018) research. Similar results were obtained for acacia honey, published by Vranić et al, (2017). Minerals are present in honey in very small quantities, mostly potassium.…”

Honey is a thick, sweet, syrupy substance, the product of the honey-bee, Apis mellifera L., obtained from the collected fruit juices and other, processed in the stomach of bees and is a pure product with no additives of any other substance. The paper present physical-chemical analysis for the following parameters, performed on 20 honey samples: sugar content, sucrose content, moisture content, free acidity, electrical conductivity, mineral content, the content of HMF and content of matter insoluble in water. As important indicators of the environment, this paper emphasises the analyses on the presents of antibiotic residues in two types of honey. The importance of establishing these indicators is to protect nature, which is the basis of agricultural development in the Republic of Srpska. The work suggests that the described bee region presents qualitative honey produced by using the natural resources of a designated area as an economic sector for the survival and development of those parts of the Republic of Srpska.

“…The main criteria relating to honey quality are moisture, electrical conductivity, ash content, reducing sugars, sucrose content, free acidity, diastase activity, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) content, and microbiological characteristics such as presence of Enterobacteriaceae, yeasts and molds, sulfite-reducing anaerobic and total aerobic bacteria 3 . The most common forms of honey tampering are an addition of cheap sweeteners (such as cane sugar or refined beet sugar, corn syrup, high fructose or maltose syrup) and honeybees fed with sucrose 11 .…”

The aim of the study was to investigate physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of domestic and imported honey samples collected from markets in Zenica city, Bosnia and Herzegovina. All honey samples were analysed according to International Honey Commision methods (2009), and Revised Codex Standard for Honey (Codex Stan 12-1981, rev. 2, 2001). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect residue of tetracycline. Among 31 samples, 17 (54.8%) were domestic (four of acacia honey, three floral, three meadow, two lime, two mountain, one of each sage, chestnut, and forest honey), and 14 (45.2%) were imported (four floral, three meadow and one of each acacia, mint, sage, chestnut, mountain, forest and heather honey). Among domestic and imported samples, glucose/fructose were in the range 65.

Honey is a natural substance produced by honey bees (the genus Apis) enjoyed by people due to its unique nutritional and medicinal properties. The aim of this study was to determine the physicochemical parameters (moisture, ash, water-insoluble content, reducing sugars, sucrose, free acidity, diastase activity, hydroxymethylfurfural, and electrical conductivity) and microbiological status (total number of aerobic mesophilic bacteria, total number of sulfite-reducing clostridia, the presence of Salmonella spp., total numbers of fungi and yeasts and the presence of Clostridium botulinum) in honey (honeydew, blossom, sunflower, acacia, and linden) produced in an urban environment in Serbia. We analyzed 19 apiary samples of honey, collected during the 2011 harvesting season, by using recommendation methods. Physicochemical parameters of the examined honey produced in the urban environment indicated the honeys were of acceptable quality. Bacillus spp. were detected in four honeys, yeasts were detected in three honeys, and Clostridium botulinum type E was detected in one honey using PCR. The current study also showed the presence of diverse honey varieties in Serbia.
