“…This standard guarantees that the honey has not undergone heating during processing (Codex Alimentarius, 2000). The geographical origin of honey has previously been studied by many researchers around Europe, especially in Slovenia, Romania, Spain, Denmark and Portugal (Bertoncelj et al 2011;De la Fuente et al 2011;Stolzenbach et al, 2011;Fea´s et al, 2010), in Africa mainly in Morocco, Burkina Fasan and Algeria (Terrab et al, 2002;Meda et al, 2005;Ouchemoukh et al, 2007), in South America mainly in Argentina, Cuba and Brazil (Alvarez-Suarez et al, 2010;Chirifie et al, 2006;Moreira et al, 2010), and in Australia and New Zealand (Ajlouni and Sujirapinyokul, 2010;Vanhanen et al, 2011). The authors have determined the physicochemical parameters including water content, pH, conductivity and sugar composition.…”

The present study was undertaken to determine the physicochemical, biochemical, and antioxidant activities of Tunisian honey samples. All the extracted honey samples appeared to conform to the European Legislation (EC Directive 2001/110) for all parameters. Mint honey, for instance, possesses significant pH value (p < 0.05), invertase activity, water, and protein contents. In addition, this study demonstrates that the color of the Tunisian honeys is highly variable and ranges from pale yellow to dark brown. The total phenolic, flavonoid and carotenoid contents significantly vary (. p < 0.05). The highest values were found in mint honey, which has a very dark color. Correlations between the analyzed parameters are statistically significant (p < 0.05). The DPPH radical scavenging activity of rosemary honey was determined as lower (p < 0.05) than the other analyzed honey samples. Yet, the highest activity was detected in mint honey. The results suggest that Tunisian honeys could be beneficially used as a functional or nutraceutical substance as they prevent or moderate oxidative stress-related diseases

“…During this analytical stage, it was decided to combine odour and aroma (retro-nasal odour) perception (including sensory perception occurring at a later stage, like after-taste) similarly to the approach undertaken normally in the evaluation of virgin olive oil (International Olive Oil Council, 2005, 2011, not least in an effort to reduce the number of qualifying parameters to evaluate.…”

This study offers a methodology for monitoring the conformity of monofloral honeys by using a descriptive profile method, which should be considered as an extension of the research on this topic previously carried out by Piana et al., (2004). The five major monofloral Italian honeys have been studied and characterized. They are: chestnut honey (Castanea sativa Miller); citrus honey (Citrus spp.); eucalyptus honey (Eucalyptus spp.); black locust honey (Robinia pseudoacacia L.); and honeydew honey. The aim of the present study is to develop a modern sensory profile method able to supply objective, reliable and reproducible data on monofloral honeys.Investigación del perfil sensorial de los tipos principales de mieles monoflorales de Italia: posibles desarrollos y aplicaciones Resumen Este estudio ofrece una metodología para la monitorización de la conformidad de mieles monoflorales a través de la utilización de un método descriptivo de su perfil. Esta metodología debería ser considerada como una extensión de la investigación en esta materia previamente llevado a cabo por Piana et al., (2004). Se estudiaron y caracterizaron las cinco principales mieles monoflorales italianas. Éstas son: miel de castaño (Castanea sativa Miller); miel de cítricos (Citrus spp.); miel de eucalipto (Eucalyptus spp.); miel de falsa acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia L.); y mielatos. El propósito de este estudio es el desarrollo de un método de perfil sensorial moderno capaz de aportar datos objetivos, fiables y reproducibles para las mieles monoflorales.

Events dedicated to agricultural products are becoming increasingly attractive to visitors and / or tourists and an important part of destination promotion. "Honey Days" in Pazin is the annual regional exhibition of honey that was most recently in February 2013, held for the eighth time. The purpose of the study was to determine participants' (beekeeper's) opinions on this exhibition in order to plan future exhibitions that will meet the demands of participants and to become a better tourist product of the destination, Istria. The survey was conducted during the exhibition in February 2012 by pupils of Gymnasium and Vocational School Juraj Dobrila in Pazin. A total of 34 beekeepers, all participants of the exhibition, were included in the survey. The survey contained a total of 31 open and close-ended questions. Questions were related to socio-demographic characteristics, beekeeping methods, and motives of participation. The dates about the protection of geographical origin of honey obtained by this primary research were compared with research conducted in 2011 and 2012 with the attendees of the school of beekeeping held in Pazin in May 2011 (when 40 questionnaires were collected) and in May 2012 (when 29 questionnaires were collected). The conclusion is that participants generally consider participation in this or similar exhibitions very important. The majority of respondents expressed that building relationships with other producers and promotion were the most important motives for making decisions about participation in this event.Protecting the geographical origin of honey, according to participants in the study, is very important for beekeepers. It could be concluded that the exhibition "Honey Days" in Pazin plays an important role in the promotion of honey and other bee products and beekeeping in general, but also that this event can be developed into an attractive and interesting product for rural tourism. PRODUŽENI SAŽETAKManifestacije posvećene poljoprivrednim proizvodima postaju sve zanimljiviji proizvod destinacije jer privlače sve veći broj posjetitelja. "Dani meda" u Pazinu regionalna je izložba meda koja je u veljači 2013. godine održana 8. puta. Istraživanje koje je provedeno u veljači 2012. u okviru izložbe "Dani meda" imalo je za cilj utvrditi mišljenje sudionika, pčelara, o motivima i elementima koje smatraju važnim kod donošenja odluke o sudjelovanju na izložbi. Za potrebe istraživanja prezentiranog u radu kreiran je anketni upitnik. Anketni upitnik se sastojao od 31 pitanja otvorenog i zatvorenog tipa. Pitanja su bila o socio-demografskim karakteristikama ispitanika, koliko dugo se bave pčelarstvom, koje proizvode od pčela proizvode, na kojem tipu košnice proizvode, na kojem području pčelare te jesu li sudjelovali na izložbi/ocjenjivanju do sada -ovom ili nekom drugom. Navedena pitanja korištena su za segmentaciju u istraživanju važnosti motiva i razloga kod donošenja odluke o sudjelovanju na izložbi za što su unaprijed ponuđene tvrdnje, na koje su ispitanici trebali odgovoriti zaok...
