Samples of fifteen unifloral honeys from Eucalyptus and Citrus produced in the Blida region (Algeria) were studied. Pollen features and some physicochemical parameters (water content, electrical conductivity, pH, acidity (free, lactone, and total), total sugar, glucose, fructose, F+G, sucrose, proteins, and hydroxylmethylfurfural contain) were determined. Forty two families and 65 pollen types were identified in the whole samples. Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Apiaceae and Oleaceae were the best represented families and were identified in all the samples. All samples presented moisture, electrical conductivity, pH, acidity, glucose, fructose, sucrose, proteins, and hydroxylmethylfurfural contents according to international standards. Palynological and Physicochemical Proprieties of Citrus and Eucalyptus Citrus honeys were characterized by low electrical conductivity (272 μS/cm), free acidity (18.50 meq/kg), lactonic acidity (7.02 meq/kg), totale acidity (25.39 meq/kg) and proteins content (373 μg/g) were compared with Eucalyptus honeys: 760 μS/cm, 27.83 meq/kg, 10.64 meq/kg, 38.46 meq/kg and 945.17 μg/g respectively

Abstract

Samples of fifteen unifloral honeys from Eucalyptus and Citrus produced in the Blida region (Algeria) were studied. Pollen features and some physicochemical parameters (water content, electrical conductivity, pH, acidity (free, lactone, and total), total sugar, glucose, fructose, F+G, sucrose, proteins, and hydroxylmethylfurfural contain) were determined. Forty two families and 65 pollen types were identified in the whole samples. Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Apiaceae and Oleaceae were the best represented families and were identified in all the samples. All samples presented moisture, electrical conductivity, pH, acidity, glucose, fructose, sucrose, proteins, and hydroxylmethylfurfural contents according to international standards. Palynological and Physicochemical Proprieties of Citrus and Eucalyptus Citrus honeys were characterized by low electrical conductivity (272 μS/cm), free acidity (18.50 meq/kg), lactonic acidity (7.02 meq/kg), totale acidity (25.39 meq/kg) and proteins content (373 μg/g) were compared with Eucalyptus honeys: 760 μS/cm, 27.83 meq/kg, 10.64 meq/kg, 38.46 meq/kg and 945.17 μg/g respectively
