Croatian honeys; physico-chemical characteristics

Sažetak
Honey samples that are available commercially, differ in quality on account of various factors. These include geographical, seasonal and processing conditions, floral source, packaging and storage period. Although Croatia is a small country, there’ s a wide range of different types of honey present on domestic market. In this study a total of 220 Croatian honey samples of known origin harvested in three consecutive years (2003., 2004. and 2005.) were analysed. Among honeys studied there were: 108 samples of acacia, 21 floral, 18 sage, 27 chestnut and 46 meadow. The following parameters were determined: water, total reducing sugars, sucrose, electrical conductivity, acidity, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) content, diastase activity and proline content. The aim was to evaluate the quality of selected honeys according to the current legal regulations in Croatia.
