Abstract:
Following the research carried out on three varieties of honey, it was concluded that they fell within the organoleptic indicators for honey, namely by appearance, color, consistency, taste and smell. Laboratory research indicated an average honey moisture of 16.66%, acacia and linden honey had the same water content, with a lower percentage observed in polyfloral honey. The content of toxic metals Pb in the studied honey indicates an average presence of less than <0.02 mg/kg, the acidity indices varied between 0.8 – 1.6 milliequivalents per 100 g of honey, the average being 1.30 milliequivalents per 100 g, the content of oxymethylfurfural varied depending on the variety, in polyflora honey - 2.0 mg/kg, in acacia honey - 9.4 mg/kg and in lime honey - 8.1 mg/kg, on average - 6.50 mg/kg, the sucrose content was 1.0% in polyflora honey, 2.2% in acacia honey and 0.7% in linden honey.
