Pages 1330-1341 | Published online: 26 Aug 2020
 

ABSTRACT

The physicochemical properties and chemical composition of bee’s honey determine its nutritional and medicinal uses. The chemical constituents of honey include sugars, polyphenols, flavonoids, hydroxymethylfurfural, hydrogen peroxide, methylglyoxal, proteins, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals while the physical properties include color, aroma, taste, and conductivity. This review considers the factors that affect the physicochemical properties and chemical composition of bee’s honey to help beekeepers produce high-quality bee’s honey.
