Popis: In this work, physicochemical properties of eight honey samples harvested from different regions over Jordan were investigated. Quality parameters including free acidity, pH, conductivity, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMT) and diastase activity were monitored for freshly harvested samples and during storage time over 24-month. The level of minerals (Na, K, Mg, Ca, Fe, Ni, Cu, Hg, Pb and As) in samples were quantified and found to be highly variable. The combined mineral content in the collected honeys was following the trend: multi-floral-Madaba (275.17 mg/kg)
