Abstract :Thanks to its rich flora, it is possible to produce various monofloral honey in Turkey and one of these honey is chestnut honey.The purpose of this research was to determine the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of chestnut honey collected from different geographical regions of Turkey. The color, humidity, HMF, diastase number, proline, acidity and electrical conductivity values of honey samples were determined as 82.1 mm, 17.33 %, 23.83 mg/kg, 15.12 diastase number, 754.12 mg/kg, 28.68 meq/kg and 0.93 MS/cm respectively. The fructose, glucose and sucrose content in honey samples were determined as 37.09 %, 30.41 and 0.02 respectively, while ratios of other sugars were changed between 0.02 % and 1.99. The total phenolic content of chestnut honey samples was determined as 154.12 mgGAE/100g with Folin Ciocalteu method, while antiradical activities insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DPPH method); were found as 37.65 %. There is a need to investigate the biological activities of chestnut honey which has important production potential in Turkey
Keywords : Chestnut honey, chemical analysis, antioxidant activity
