Abstract
Honey is a natural food product produced when the nectar and sweet deposits from plants are gathered, modified and stored in the honeycomb by honey bees. From ancient times honey has been used in therapeutic purposes especially in cough, colds, skin wounds and various gastrointestinal diseases. In this study multifloral honey samples were investigated in order to assess their total phenolic content by Folin-Ciocalteau method and their potential antioxidant activity by 2,2 diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ABTS free radical scavenging methods. Results of this study revealed that all honey samples possess total phenolic and antioxidant activity irrespective of climatic or floral variation.
