Abstract

The aim of the study is to determine the mineral content and some quality parameters of Thrace region floral and honeydew honeys. Quality parameters such as soluble solid, pH, electrical conductivity, free acidity, sugar content and mineral content (Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na, Zn, P, Se) were determined and evaluated in 25 honey samples including 16 sunflower, 2 gorse, 3 canola, 3 oak and 1 linden honey locally produced in Trace Region, Turkey. Mineral contents of the samples were determined by Inductivelly Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES). The most abundant minerals were potassium, phosphorus and calcium, ranging between 18.91–1018.74, 244.40–429.98 and 8.50–140.82mg/kg, respectively. The mean values were determined as pH 4.42 (3.86-6.54), soluble dry matter 81.4°Bx (79.3-83.0), free acidity 15.66 mEq/kg (9.00-28, 00), HMF 13.00 mg/kg (0.16-33.45), electrical conductivity 595 μS/cm (207-1376), glucose 33.66% (25.51-38.58), fructose 38% .17 (33.32-47.91) and sucrose 0.17% (0.01-0.67).

Özet

Çalışmanın amacı, Trakya bölgesi çiçek ve salgı ballarının mineral içeriği ve bazı kalite parametrelerinin belirlenmesidir. Bu amaçla Trakya Bölgesi'nde yerel olarak üretilen 16 adet ayçiçeği, 2 adet karaçalı, 3 adet kanola, 3 adet meşe ve 1 adet ıhlamur balı olmak üzere toplam 25 adet bal örneğinde 8 farklı mineral (Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na, Zn, P, Se) düzeyi ve bazı tipik kalite parametreleri (çözünür kuru madde, pH, elektriksel iletkenlik, serbest asitlik, HMF ve şeker içeriği) analiz edilmiştir. Bal örneklerinin mineral içerikleri İndüktif Eşleşmiş Plazma Optik Emisyon Spektrometresi (ICP-OES) ile analiz edilmiştir. Ballarda en çok bulunan mineraller sırasıyla potasyum, fosfor ve kalsiyum olup 18.91–1018.74, 244.40–429.98 ve 8.50–140.82 mg/kg arasında belirlenmiştir. Kalite parametreleri ortalama olarak pH 4.42 (3.86-6.54), çözünür kuru madde 81.4°Bx (79.3-83.0), serbest asitlik 15.66 mEq/kg (9.00-28.00), HMF 13.00 mg/kg (0.16-33.45), elektriksel iletkenlik 595 μS/cm (207-1376), glukoz %33.66 (25.51-38.58), fruktoz %38.17 (33.32-47.91), sakkaroz %0.17 (0.01-0.67) olarak tespit edilmiştir.
