Investigation of Antioxidant Activity and Physicochemical Properties of Local and Branded Honeys in Sindh, Pakistan

Abstract

The honey is a sweetest natural products because it have unique properties, which honey bees are collect from dissimilar plants materials. The honey is used as a nutritional purposes for human consumption and also use for medicinal and industrial purposes. The honey also an important product in the international markets. The present study was conducted to analyzed the physicochemical and antioxidant activities of different honey samples in Sindh Pakistan. The 15 honey samples were analyzed for parameters including pH, electrical conductivity, moisture, viscosity, ash%, density and antioxidant activity. The average value of pH was founded 3.78 electrical conductivity 2492 μs/cm, viscosity 12.34 mpa, moisture 15.99%, density 0.78 and average value of antioxidant activity was founded 19.12 mg/100g.
