Chemical quality of strained honey consumed in Ankara

Abstract

The present study was conducted for the determination of some chemical quality and suitability of the 70 strained honey samples (35 flower honey and 35 pine honey). The findings were evaluated by using Honey Standard presented in the Turkish Honey Regulation (Turkish Food Codex, Honey Directive) All the samples collected from local retailers in Ankara were analysed for their humidity, acidity, diastase activity, hydroxymethyl furfural, invert sugar, sucrose, commercial glucose, ash, starch and pollen contents. 80 % of floral honey and 31.43 % of pine honey samples were laid down by the Turkish standard. According to the pollen analyse results 5.71 % of floral honey samples included rhododendron pollens. As a result, control of the honey sold in Ankara should be analysed more usually than before from farm to table both for the protection of public health and consumer rights
