Research of palynological and physicochemical parameters of honey in Adana and Niğde region

August 2020, 132 pages 21 honey samples were taken from Malatya and Niğde twenty one different localities in 2018 palynological and physicochemical analysis performed on these samples. Following the polen analysis, 91 taxa belonging to 40 families were detected. Three of the honey samples are identified as unifloral and eighteen of them are multifloral. In samples, predominant polen types were Salix sp., Gossypium sp. and Astragalus sp. In samples, secondary pollen types were Eruca sp., Cirsium sp., Onobrychis sp., Astragalus sp., Crataegus sp., Sinapis sp., Eucalyptus sp., Helianthus sp., Citrus sp., Carduus sp., Anchusa sp., Papaver sp., Solanum sp., Trifolium sp., Vicia sp. and Medicago sp. Accordingly, our honey samples moisture, acidity, pH, brix, standarts is appropriate in terms of the Councıl Dırectıve of the European Union and Turkish Food Codex Communique of Honey.
