Abstract
The study was designed to evaluate nutrient content of honey samples of Trigona sp. obtained from beekeepers of West Garo Hills, Meghalaya of Northeast India. Twenty samples were collected for evaluation their quality parameters moisture, pH, acidity, ash, Hydroxy Methyl Furfural (HMF), Water insoluble solid, TSS, and conductivity. The result revealed that locally produced honey had moisture, ash, acid, and pH content ranging from 18.8–19.3 per cent, 0.003–0.005 per cent, 0.87–1.30 per cent and 4.43–4.49 at 21o C, respectively, which was within the standard limits. Similarly, TSS content of locally produced honey ranged between 76.8–76.9 per cent. The water insoluble materials content of the honey samples were1.97–2.40 per cent while the conductivity was 3.21–3.22 μS/cm for the tested samples of locally produced honey. All the samples were found to be within the acceptable range of national as well as standards for all of the tested parameters.
