Abstract
P>This study was conducted to determine the physico-chemical characteristics of honeys (n = 52 samples) produced from sunflower in Trakya region of Turkey. We have evaluated the conformity of the honeys in accordance with the criteria specified by the Turkish Honey Standard (TS 3036), Turkish Food Codex and European Union Commission. According to the results of our analysis, the average values determined were in Tekirdag (n = 10 samples), Malkara (n = 22 samples), Hayrabolu (n = 13 samples) and Muratli (n = 7samples) respectively: 6.67%, 6.06, 8.43, 7.89 for hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF); 15.02, 23.98, 18.61, 17.61 (Goethe unit) for diastase activity; 2.01%, 2.39, 2.36, 1.69 for saccharose; 75.26, 73.78, 75.50, 76.80 for invert sugar (%); 23.38, 34.92, 31.70, 26.38 for meq kg-1 for acidity; 0.16, 0.25, 0.31, 0.13 for ash value (%); 18.13, 18.21, 17.52, 18.21 for water content (%).
