The antibacterial activity of acacia, multifloral and oak honeydew honeys
نویسنده
چکیده
In the study were presented data for comparison of antibacterial activities between long time stored acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), multifloral and oak (Quercus spp.) honeydew honeys towards Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 9144). The results showed that the antibacterial activity of oak honeydew and multifloral honeys was much higher in comparison with acacia honeys with the lowest antibacterial activity. In the oak honeydew honey samples there was remaining long time stored antibacterial activity towards Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 9144).

321 honey samples from Switzerland were collected. The botanical authenticity of 176 honey samples was confirmed by the determination of electrical conductivity, sugar composition, pH-value, free acidity, and microscopical pollen analysis [2], as well as the sensory evaluation by three experts. The honey samples were assigned to one of the following groups: floral honeys from acacia (Robinia sp...
