Physicochemical and Melissopalynological Study of Some Honey Samples from the Algerian East Region

The quantitative and qualitative analysis of honey components is the object this study. These analyses are considered a physicochemical melissopalynological tool that allows study some characteristics honey. ten (10) samples Algerian carried out to determine pH, water content, electrical conductivity, ash acidity, hydroxymethylfurfural proteins, sugar content. According obtained results, physico-chemical parameters studied honeys comply with European international standards. pollen spectrum indicated presence 23 plant families, mainly Fabaceae, encompassing total 65 species visited by foragers. Of 10 sampled analyzed, six were monofloral, remainder showing no apparent dominance any type. most frequent eucalyptus (Eucalyptus sp.), Italian sainfoin (Hedysarum coronarium), chickweed (Lathyrus sp.). Furthermore, results indicate all (monofloral polyfloral) showed high degree variability in number grains.
