Characterisation of Nectar Honeys According to their Physicochemical Parameters and Mineral Content (original) (raw)

The aim of this study was to characterise the nectar honeys (monofloral and multifloral) extracted from beehives placed in the South-Muntenia region of Romania, site where honey production increased in the last years. Physicochemical characteristics (pH, electrical conductivity, ash content refractive index, water content) and minerals content (P, K, Ca, Fe and Zn) were evaluated. The obtained results indicate o good quality level that demonstrates an adequate extracting and processing of honey.
