Investigation of Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activity of Different Multifloral Honeys

Öz

In this study, we purposed that antioxidant and antimicrobial characteristics of different nine different honey types belonging to Turkey flora. Samples were obtained from local markets. The antimicrobial activities of the samples against six bacteria and only yeast (Clostridium perfringens, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans) were assessed using disc diffision method. As a result of these studies, it was determined that the studied samples did not have antimicrobial activities against these seven pathogens. Furthermore, antioxidant activities of the honey samples have been carried out by using six antioxidant test methods. These methods are DPPH free radical scavenging (DPPH) and hydrogen peroxide scavenging (HPSA) activities, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and ferrous ion chelating activities (MCA). In addition, the total phenolic contents (TPC) and the total flavonoid contents (TFC) have been determined. The obtained activity values were compared to standard antioxidants (BHA, RUT and TRO). According to these results, sample 9 has more influential antioxidant activity than the other samples.
