The characterization of jujube (Ziziphus lotus (L.) Lam) honey produced in Algeria, was carried out on the basis of their palynological and physicochemical properties: water content, pH, acidity, HMF, fructose, glucose, saccharose, melezitose, turanose, maltose, electrical conductivity, proteins, phenols, flavonoids, antioxidant activity, mineral content and the color. These honeys were characterized by high values of electrical conductivity, potassium, calcium, pH, phenol content, amber color and medium protein content. From the palynological point of view, the honeys had a high pollen content. The presence of some pollen types in the pollen spectra of honeys such as Peganum harmala, Lotus, Eucalyptus, Taraxacum, Cistus, Trifolium, Carduus and Matricaria was proposed as a geographical indicator of this honey type.
