This study was conducted to assess the bioactive value of honey samples collected from three countries. In total, 150 honey samples from Saudi Arabia (50), Libya (50), and Egypt (50) were collected and compared, based on the results of the melissopalynological analysis, their physicochemical attributes, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, and biochemical properties, together with their total phenolic and total flavonoid contents. Depending on the geographical origin, we observed different levels of growth suppression for six resistant bacterial strains. The pathogenic microorganisms tested in this study were and There was a strong correlation between the polyphenol and flavonoid contents, as well as significant ( < 0.05) radical scavenging activities. The melissopalynological analysis and physicochemical properties complied with the recommendation of the Gulf and Egyptian Technical Regulations on honey, as well as the Codex Alimentarius of the World Health Organization and the European Union Normative related to honey quality. It was concluded that honey from the three countries has the capacity to suppress pathogenic bacterial growth and has significant radical scavenging activities. Moreover, these findings suggest that honey may be considered as an interesting source of antimicrobial compounds and antioxidants for therapeutical and nutraceutical industries or for food manufacturers.
本研究旨在评估从三个国家采集的蜂蜜样本的生物活性价值。总共采集了来自沙特阿拉伯(50个)、利比亚(50个)和埃及(50个)的150个蜂蜜样本,并根据蜂蜜花粉分析结果、理化特性、抗氧化和抗菌活性、生化特性以及总酚和总黄酮含量进行比较。根据地理来源,我们观察到对六种耐药细菌菌株的不同程度的生长抑制。本研究中测试的致病微生物为……多酚和黄酮含量之间存在很强的相关性,以及显著的(<0.05)自由基清除活性。蜂蜜花粉分析和理化特性符合海湾和埃及蜂蜜技术法规的建议,以及世界卫生组织食品法典和欧盟与蜂蜜质量相关的规范。得出的结论是,来自这三个国家的蜂蜜有抑制致病细菌生长的能力,并具有显著的自由基清除活性。此外,这些发现表明,蜂蜜可被视为治疗和营养保健品行业或食品制造商抗菌化合物和抗氧化剂的有趣来源。
