TI  - Assessment of Palynological Characterization and Total Phenol-Flavonoid Content of Some Honeys from Ordu in Turkey
AB  - Honey is one of the important honey bee products and varies total phenolic and flavonoid contents dependingon mainly its floral source. In this study, the total phenolic-flavonoid content and pollen composition of fifteenhoney samples were investigated from Ordu in Turkey. According to melissopalynological (qualitative)analysis, eleven honey samples were unifloral (Castanea sativa (9); Rosaceae (1) and Onobrychis spp.(1)),while four samples were multifloral. The forty-two pollen types from the samples were identified. Themelissopalynological (quantitative) analysis based on Maurizio’s Class demonstrated that one in Class II, threein Class III, one in Class IV and ten in Class V. Total phenolic and total flavonoid amunts in these honeys variedfrom 32.5-171.05 mg GAE (gallic acid equivalent)/100g, 1.65-38.75 mg CAE (catechin equivalent)/100g,respectively. According to this study the highest flavonoid levels obtained from Sample 9 (multifloral) and thehighest phenolic contents were shown in sample 1 (C. sativa). This study contributes to literature about Orduhoneys.
