Physico-chemical characteristics and Discrimination Analysis of Some Medicinal and Aromatic Honey Produced in Egypt

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to differentiate five varieties of floral honey from one another using discriminant analysis; Fennel, Sidr, Nigella, Marjoram and Anise honey that produced in Egypt. To statistically test data, discriminant analysis and analysis of variance were employed. The classification's most crucial parameters were determined via discrimination. Various parameters were deliberated:
Moisture; total of soluble solids (T.S.S); Viscosity; Specific gravity; electrical conductivity (EC); Sugar content; fructose; glucose; sucrose; maltose (%); H.M.F.; pH; free acidity; total acidity; G/W; F/G; lactone and Diastase. Every tested sample of honey met the international standards for honey quality at the acceptable level.
