Özet
This study aims to investigate some physical properties and proline content of 95 different honey samples to reveal their characteristic features and evaluate their quality according to the Turkish Food Codex. The moisture content, which is highly important parameter in determining the shelf life of honeys, determined between 14.60% and 21.20% and these values were determined to be within the limits (<20%) except for four honey samples. The brix values of honey samples were examined between 77.23% and 83.60%, and they were found to be within the acceptable range. The other physical parameter, namely the electrical conductivity values of samples determined between 0.11 and 1.20 mS/cm. Proline, which is an important value in determining the type and maturity of honey and is the amino acid found in the highest amount in honey, should be above 300 mg/kg in honey, according to the communique. The proline amount of the honey samples examined varied between 281.61 and 2259.43 mg/kg. It was determined that the proline amount of two honey samples were below the limit. It was concluded that most of the tested samples were in compliance with the food codex in terms of quality standards.
