Microbiological and Physicochemical Characterization of Honeys from the Tiaret Region of Algeria
Journal Title: Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research and Health Care - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Honey is an organic product with multiple physicochemical and biological properties. Microbiological analysis (total search germs, coliforms and fecal coliforms, spores of sulfite-reducing, Clostridium botulinum and Bacillus cereus and research yeasts) showed that the samples studied contain no spores or coliform and fecal coliform. The physicochemical analyzes (water content, Hydroxymethylfurfural: HMF, pH and the free acidity, conductivity electrical and ash) showed that all samples meet International standards with the exception of one sample showed an HMF content (42.05 mg/kg) which is slightly above the European norm but still consistent with the Codex Alimentarius. The result of analyzes shows that different kinds of honey produced in this region are of good hygienic and market qualities.
