The aim of this work was to evaluate the quality of 16 honey samples from Castelo Branco region (Portugal). Twelve are monofloral from and . The mean values obtained for physicochemical parameters were: 3.82 pH; 16.80% moisture; 81.6°Brix; 0.21% ash; 357.6 μS cm electrical conductivity; 33.7 meq/kg free acidity; 5.7 meq/kg lactonic acidity; 39.3 meq/kg total acidity; 9.11 mg/kg HMF; 21.3 IN invertase and 9.0° Gothe for diastase activities. The results indicate a good quality, adequate processing, good maturity and freshness of honey. Additionally, the determination of mineral contents revealed that the K was the major element. Mean values obtained were (mg/kg): Ca, 28.36; K, 701.87; Mg, 74.00; Na, 31.04; Fe, 097; Cu, 0.65; Zn, 1.23; Mn, 2.78 and P, 48.80. Among the overall determined parameters, CB2 stands out by its high values in minerals, pH, moisture, ash, electrical conductivity and enzyme activity.
这项工作的目的是评估来自葡萄牙卡斯特洛布兰科地区的16个蜂蜜样本的质量。其中12个是来自[具体来源1]和[具体来源2]的单花蜂蜜。获得的物理化学参数平均值如下:pH值为3.82;水分含量为16.80%;糖度为81.6°Brix;灰分含量为0.21%;电导率为357.6 μS/cm;游离酸度为33.7 meq/kg;内酯酸度为5.7 meq/kg;总酸度为39.3 meq/kg;羟甲基糠醛含量为9.11 mg/kg;转化酶活性为21.3 IN;淀粉酶活性为9.0°Gothe。结果表明这些蜂蜜质量良好、加工得当、成熟度和新鲜度适宜。此外,矿物质含量的测定显示钾是主要元素。获得的平均值(mg/kg)如下:钙,28.36;钾,701.87;镁,74.00;钠,31.04;铁,0.97;铜,0.65;锌,1.23;锰,2.78;磷,48.80。在所有测定参数中,CB2在矿物质、pH值、水分、灰分、电导率和酶活性方面的值较高,表现突出。
