Abstract
In this work, different types of honey were characterized based on their palynological and biochemical characteristics. A mellisopalynological analysis was performed to authenticate the botanical origin of the honey samples. According to this method, the honey types were classified in: acacia (n = 10), linden (n = 10), and rape (n = 10). This article also reports the phenols content, the flavonoids content, and the antioxidant activity of honey samples. The highest level of antioxidant activity was recorded for linden honeys and the lowest for acacia honeys. The multivariate analysis demonstrated to be an important tool in classification and discrimination between different honeys concerning the palynological and biochemical properties.
