Indonesia, one of the largest tropical forests, offers a diverse range of nectar sources that contribute to the unique characteristics of forest honey. This study aims to investigate physicochemical and antioxidant properties of forest honey from three distinct regions of Indonesia. Key physicochemical parameters include moisture, color, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), density, diastase number (DN), hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), pH, total acidity, ash content, protein content, and reducing sugars. Antioxidant properties, assessed through total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), DPPH radical scavenging activity, ascorbic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity (AEAC), and ferric reducing power (FRP), revealed significant regional variability. Principal component analysis (PCA) distinguished honey samples based on these attributes. These findings provide preliminary insights into the variability of Indonesian forest honeys. However, the small sample size limits generalizations, and further research with larger datasets is essential for validation.
印度尼西亚是最大的热带森林之一,拥有各种各样的花蜜来源,这些花蜜造就了森林蜂蜜的独特特性。本研究旨在调查来自印度尼西亚三个不同地区的森林蜂蜜的理化性质和抗氧化特性。关键的理化参数包括水分、颜色、电导率(EC)、总溶解固体(TDS)、总悬浮固体(TSS)、密度、淀粉酶值(DN)、羟甲基糠醛(HMF)、pH值、总酸度、灰分含量、蛋白质含量和还原糖。通过总酚含量(TPC)、总黄酮含量(TFC)、DPPH自由基清除活性、抗坏血酸当量抗氧化能力(AEAC)和铁还原能力(FRP)评估的抗氧化特性显示出显著的区域差异。主成分分析(PCA)根据这些属性区分蜂蜜样本。这些发现为印度尼西亚森林蜂蜜的变异性提供了初步见解。然而,样本量较小限制了推广,使用更大数据集进行进一步研究对于验证至关重要。
