Bracatinga ( Bentham) honeydew honey is a Brazilian dark honey in increasing international appreciation. In this sense, the knowledge of its composition and potential biological properties becomes indispensable. In the present study, the physicochemical characteristics, including mineral and phenolic composition, and the scavenging, reducing, and antimicrobial proprieties of bracatinga honeydew honey (bhh) from five different geographical locations, were investigated. Bhh proved to be a potential functional food due to its high content of minerals (up to 6395 mg kg) and phenolic compounds (up to 2393 µg 100 g) and high scavenging and reducing activities. High antimicrobial activity against four bacterial strains, with minimum inhibitory concentration values ranging from 10 to 60%, were also found. Additionally, through principal component analysis, partial discrimination of bhh was observed according to the geographical location, which favored the separation of samples from Lages, and mainly due to the presence of nectar in this honey, which was proposed for the samples from Bom Retiro.

巴西苏木（Bentham）蜜露蜂蜜是一种在国际上越来越受青睐的巴西深色蜂蜜。从这个意义上说，了解其成分和潜在的生物学特性变得不可或缺。在本研究中，对来自五个不同地理位置的巴西苏木蜜露蜂蜜（bhh）的物理化学特性，包括矿物质和酚类成分，以及清除、还原和抗菌特性进行了研究。由于其高含量的矿物质（高达6395毫克/千克）和酚类化合物（高达2393微克/100克）以及高清除和还原活性，bhh被证明是一种潜在的功能性食品。还发现其对四种细菌菌株具有高抗菌活性，最低抑菌浓度值范围为10%至60%。此外，通过主成分分析，根据地理位置观察到bhh存在部分差异，这有利于将来自拉热斯的样品分离出来，主要是因为这种蜂蜜中存在花蜜，这一点在来自博姆雷蒂罗的样品中得到了证实。
