TY - JOUR TI - PHENOLIC COMPOSITION AND ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES OF ANZER HONEY FROM BLACK SEA REGION OF TURKEY AB - Anzer honey is produced on the Anzer plateau, known for its rich flora, in the Eastern Black Sea regionof Turkey. It is well known across the world, and is believed to be of high medical value.This study is the first detailed research in which the polyphenolic profiles responsible for the bioactiveproperties of Anzer honey was determined, melissopalynological analysis was performed, and inwhich total phenolic contents (TPC), total flavonoid contents (TFC), and total antioxidant activitieswere identified. The ferric (III) reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrasil (DPPH) free radical scavenging test were used to determine antioxidant activity. Thetotal mean phenolic content of Anzer honey was 26.92 GAE/100 g, and the total flavonoid content was2.79 mgQE/100g. Anzer honeys’ mean FRAP and DPPH values were 110.11 μmoLTrolox/100g and 49,12mg/mL, respectively. The phenolic acids and flavonoids of Anzer honey were determined using highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Of the 19 standard compounds used in the analysis,pinocembrin, hesperidin, chrysin, protocatechuic acid, p-coumaric acid, catechin, caffeic acid phenylester (CAPE), p-OH benzoic acid, and caffeic acid as major compounds, while myricetin, luteolin, rutin,resveratrol, epicatechin, t-cinnamic acid, ferulic acid, and gallic acid were identified as minorcompounds. Daidzein and syringic acid were not detected. Based on these findings, Anzer is a flowerhoney noteworthy for the rich variety of its polyphenols.
