The main objective of this work was to determine the significant physicochemical and bioactive parameters of honeys originating from Iraqi Kurdistan. For this purpose, honey samples ( = 16) were taken directly from Kurdish beekeepers from different places of Dohuk and Erbil Governorate in 2018 and 2022. The following parameters were analyzed: moisture content, electrical conductivity, diastase activity, hydroxymethylfurfural content, pH, free acidity, content of saccharides, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, color, color intensity and DPPH, FRAP. Another objective of this work was to compare the properties of Kurdistan honeys with the requirements of European Union law and with the honeys of Central Europe. A total of 48 honey samples were included in the comparison. It was detected that the honeys produced in Iraqi Kurdistan met the strict quality criteria set by European law, which is important information for local beekeepers and experts in relation to honey production and an opportunity to set local limits of honey quality. Despite the different climatic and topographical conditions, the available flora, and the different species of bees, the properties of Iraqi Kurdistan honeys were similar to the properties of honeys from the Czech and Slovak Republics.
这项工作的主要目的是确定源自伊拉克库尔德斯坦的蜂蜜的重要物理化学和生物活性参数。为此，2018年和2022年直接从杜胡克和埃尔比勒省不同地方的库尔德养蜂人那里采集了蜂蜜样本（n = 16）。分析了以下参数：水分含量、电导率、淀粉酶活性、羟甲基糠醛含量、pH值、游离酸度、糖类含量、总酚含量、总黄酮含量、颜色、色强度以及DPPH、FRAP。这项工作的另一个目的是将库尔德斯坦蜂蜜的特性与欧盟法律要求以及中欧蜂蜜的特性进行比较。比较中总共纳入了48个蜂蜜样本。结果发现，伊拉克库尔德斯坦生产的蜂蜜符合欧洲法律规定的严格质量标准，这对于当地养蜂人和蜂蜜生产方面的专家来说是重要信息，也是设定当地蜂蜜质量标准的一个契机。尽管气候和地形条件、可用植物群以及蜜蜂种类不同，但伊拉克库尔德斯坦蜂蜜的特性与捷克和斯洛伐克共和国蜂蜜的特性相似。
