| Popis: | The biochemical and antioxidant properties of stingless bee honey were analysed at the College of Agriculture, Vellayani during 2013–15, to evaluate the quality parameters hitherto not reported in India. Honey collected from 15 locations each of midland and upland physiographic regions of southern Kerala were subjected to quality analysis. Parameters viz., flavanoids (220.09 mg catechin/kg), total poly phenols (879.84 mg catechol/kg), diastase (31.20 Diastase Number-DN), invertase activity (136.15 Invertase Number-IN) and antioxidant content (374.84 uM Fe 11/100 g) of the honey samples from upland was statistically superior to midland. The moisture content (20.45%) recorded from midland was significantly higher than the upland. |
