Abstract
Melissopalynological and biochemical analyses of 50 honey samples (chestnut, citrus, clover, cotton and sunflower) were performed in this study. The total phenolic contents (TPC) with the Folin˗Ciocalteu, antioxidant activities with the phosphomolybdenum and free radical scavenging activities (FRSA) with the DPPH methods of honey samples were determined. The fructose content of honey samples varied between 31.44-35.16 %, glucose contents between 22.46-32.71 % and sucrose contents between 0.37-1.94 %. Moreover, the G+F contents of clover, citrus, sunflower, chestnut and cotton honey were respectively observed as 67.87, 66.21, 67.39, 53.90 and 66.26 %. The F/G ratios of the honey samples varied between 1.07-1.40 and the glucose/water (G/W) ratios between 1.36-1.94. Furthermore, biological analyses performed in every 6 months throughout the 18 months of storage revealed decreasing TPCs, antioxidant activities and FRSAs over time in the honey samples (p
