For this purpose, 25 multifloral, natural honey samples and 20 samples of adulterated honey produced by bees that had been fed supplementary sucrose syrup were analysed. The mean total phenolic content of the natural honeys was considerably higher than in the adulterated honeys at 157 +/- 13 and 35.2 +/- 7.3mg GAE/100g, respectively. Similarly, considerable variation was determined between natural and adulterated honeys in terms of total flavonoids (3.3 +/- 0.3 and 2.1 +/- 0.4mg QE/100g, respectively), antiradical activity (87.9 +/- 12 and 163 +/- 11mg/mL, respectively) and proline content (202 +/- 26 and 71.1 +/- 21.6mg/kg, respectively.) The potassium, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium contents of natural honeys were also higher than in adulterated honeys (P
