| dc.description.abstract | Five physicochemical parameters (water content, electrical conductivity, total
acidity (pH), ash mass fraction and concentration of free acids) were analyzed in 15
sunflower honeys collected from several localities in Vojvodina, Serbia. The mean values
of analyzed honeys were: water content 16.87%; concentration of free acids 27.43
mEq/kg; electrical conductivity 0.34 mS/cm; pH 3.64 and ash mass fraction 0.13%. The
selected physicochemical characteristics of all honey samples from Serbia analyzed in this
research can be considered to be within the parameters expected for sunflower honey in
general. The values for ash mass fraction, electrical conductivity and concentration of free
acids in all sunflower honey samples showed similar trends. High correlation was
established between electrical conductivity and ash mass fraction. Statistically significant
difference (p≤0.05) was established only for average values of free acids concentration
between honey samples originating from the localities Kanjiža and Čelarevo. All of the
analyzed honey samples were found to meet national and European legislation for
investigated parameters | en_US |
