 Abstract:
In this study, water content, pH, salinity, refractive index and brix grades were all determined in 4 different types of bee honey, which include multiforal and unifloral species: Acacia flower (lat. Robinia pseudoacacia), Rape flower (lat. Brassica rapa) and Linden flower ( lat. Tilia cordata). The water content shows values from 15.8% until 11.4%, respectively from 11.5 until 16.02 in case of indirect method, pH between 3.69 and 4.4, brix grades between 78° and 80.8°, refractive index between 1.49663 until 1.50825 and salinity from 70.8% until 76%. The principal purpose of this study was to bring more contribution to the knowledge of various types of honey originating from the Banat area in terms of physical properties.
