The main purpose of this study was to evaluate of the quality and chemical parameters such as: acidity and5-hydroxymethylfurfuraldehyde content (HMF), in 10 honey samples, produced in Albania in 2018. HMF measurement is usedto evaluate the quality of honey, based on the storage condition and the possible adulteration with other sugars or syrups. Thecurrent European legislation regulates the concentration of HMF, which must not exceed 40 mg/kg (for general types of honey).The obtained data for this study showed that the acidity in the analysed honey samples ranges from 3.85 to 4.18 and 7.88 meq/kg to 27.46 meq /kg, according to pH measurement and titration analyses, respectively. In this work, HMF was determined bythe method according to White UV – VIS spectrophotometer.
