Antioxidant activity of chestnut honey produced in Western Georgia
2018
The paper deals with the study of chemical composition, recommended by Euro Regulation, diastase and antioxidant activities and electroconductivity of chestnut honey produced in the regions of Western Georgia. As a result of the research, it was found that the titanium acidity of chestnut honey is 20.8-44.6 ml/ 100 g, and pH is 4.5-4.97. Dry substance content is not less than 80%, correspondingly, the water content is not more than 20%. The electro conductivity is 1.34-1.98 ms/cm, and the correlation of ash is 1-2.5%. HPLC was determined as the dominant carbohydrate fructose, the content of which exceeds 40%, while the content of glucose is up to 30 %. The sucrose content does not exceed 2%, the diastase activity in all the honey is not less than 8 Shade units, antioxidants (dilution 1-100) exceed 50%.
