摘要: This study examines the physicochemical properties of stingless bee honey from SE Asia (Thailand). Twenty-eight samples, 11 species, were examined. Results reveal an average color (67 ± 19 mm Pfund), moisture (31 5.4 g/100g), ash (0.531 0.632 electrical conductivity (1.1 0.780 ms/cm), pH (3.6 0.198), total acidity (164 162 meq/kg), diastase activity (1.5 1.6 °Gothe) and hydroxymethylfurfural (8.7 12 mg/kg). The carbohydrate profile is: sugar (51 21 fructose (17 9.7 glucose (14 8.6g/100g), maltose (41 15 g/100g) sucrose (1.2 2.7 g/100g). These findings are not dissimilar to those reported for honeys neo-tropics. When compared with Apis mellifera standard, is characterized as possessing higher content, acidity, HMF but a lower level sugars.
