This study aimed to determine the antioxidant properties and quantify the total phenolics and flavonoids (quercetin and rutin) in monofloral honeys produced in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The analysis revealed that A1-Aroeira and A4-Assa peixe honey samples had the highest phenolic and flavonoid contents, while A6-Aroeira honey exhibited the best antioxidant activity.
This study was carried out with the objective of determining the antioxidant properties and quantification of total phenolics and flavonoids in relation to quercetin and rutin in some of the monofloral honeys produced in Minas Gerais (Brazil). In this study, 15 monofloral honey samples were obtained from different geographic regions of Minas Gerias, Brazil. The honeys were obtained from Cooperative of Beekeepers and Family Farmers of Northern Minas. To determine the antioxidant properties of honey samples, the test methods of total phenolic content, flavonoids (rutin and quercetin) and DPPH were used. As a result of the analysis of phenolic and flavonoid contents, the samples with the best results were A1-Aroeira and A4-Assa peixe. In antioxidant activity, the honey with the best EC50 results was A6-Aroeira. Differences between the antioxidant activities of the honey samples were found significantly (p< 0.01).
