PHYSICOCHEMICAL AND MICROBIOLOGICAL QUALITY OF HONEY FROM LIPTOV REGION

The present study aimed to characterize twenty four honeys available in the Slovakapiarist inrespect to their floral origins (rape, lime, honeydew honey), physicochemical and microbial parameters. Moisture content, ash, acidity and electrical conductivity were the parameters analyzed in each honey sa...
