In this study, it was aimed to determine the bioactive properties of honeydew and blossom honeys produced in Turkey. Botanical origins of honey samples (locust, sunflower, citrus, lavender, coriander, euphorbia, rhododendron, chestnut, carob, thyme, rape, linden, pumpkin, heather, nigella, milk thistle, pine and oak honeys) collected from different geographical regions have been dertemined by pollen analysis. Total phenolic content of honey samples were determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method. The total phenolic content belongs to rape honey with the lowest 70.60 mgGAE/100g and chestnut honey with the highest 212.06 mgGAE/100g. Antioxidant activity of honey samples was determined by phosphomolybdenum method and antiradical activity by DPPH method. The lowest antioxidant activity was found in lavender honey and the highest activity was in citrus honey. The highest antiradical activity was determined in chestnut honey with the lowest antiradical activity in thyme honey; 66.02% and 7.47%, respectively.
