Description

Abstract Honey is a food of high importance due to its nutritional value. The effect of late
harvest and pollen composition on honey quality and antimicrobial activity was studied.
Different physicochemical parameters were determined as quality indicators. The HMF
content, diastase activity, sugar content, antimicrobial activity, and hydrogen peroxide
content were selected in current work as the crucial parameters for evaluation. The results
proved that the late harvested honey sample showed a vast number of pollens from ...
