The antioxidant properties of natural honey primarily rely on the floral origin from which nectar is collected by bees. Thus, the current activity evaluated the antioxidant properties of honey based on its floral type. The honey floral origin was verified by the melissopalynological technique. Antioxidant properties were determined by using standard procedures and analyzed by SAS. Six unifloral honey types with their harvesting month were identified. Accordingly, (74% of pollen frequency), (68%), (90%), (64%), (100%), and (100%) were cropped in November, February, February, May, April, and June separately. Statistically, a variation ( < 0.05) in antioxidant parameters was displayed between unifloral honeys. honey exhibited the maximum total phenol (77.2 ± 0.7), total flavonoid (65.0 ± 3.8), and total antioxidant content (65.4 ± 0.3). On the other hand, honey recorded the least total phenol content (24.1 ± 0.4), total flavonoid content (18.6 ± 2.7), and total antioxidant content (5.6 ± 0.5). Statistical analysis showed a positive correlation between all the tested antioxidant parameters. Thus, the current study indicated that all the tested Ethiopian unifloral honey had good sources of antioxidants with the most honey followed by C whereas honey had the least followed by .
天然蜂蜜的抗氧化特性主要取决于蜜蜂采集花蜜的花源。因此，本研究基于蜂蜜的花型评估其抗氧化特性。蜂蜜的花源通过蜂蜜花粉学技术进行验证。抗氧化特性通过标准程序测定，并使用SAS进行分析。确定了六种单一花源蜂蜜及其收获月份。相应地，（花粉频率的74%）、（68%）、（90%）、（64%）、（100%）和（100%）分别于11月、2月、2月、5月、4月和6月收获。统计学上，单一花源蜂蜜之间的抗氧化参数存在差异（<0.05）。蜂蜜表现出最高的总酚含量（77.2±0.7）、总黄酮含量（65.0±3.8）和总抗氧化剂含量（65.4±0.3）。另一方面，蜂蜜的总酚含量最低（24.1±0.4）、总黄酮含量最低（18.6±2.7）和总抗氧化剂含量最低（5.6±0.5）。统计分析表明，所有测试的抗氧化参数之间存在正相关。因此，本研究表明，所有测试的埃塞俄比亚单一花源蜂蜜都是抗氧化剂的良好来源，其中蜂蜜含量最高，其次是C，而蜂蜜含量最低，其次是。
