TLDR
The total phenolic and flavonoid content, color, and antioxidant activity were evaluated from ten honey samples from Apis mellifera L. collected from Roraima State, Brazil as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
The total phenolic and flavonoid content, color, and antioxidant activity were evaluated from ten honey samples from Apis mellifera L. collected from Roraima State, Brazil. The total phenolic content was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and ranged from 250 to 548 mg gallic acid kg –1 of honey. The total flavonoid content was obtained using two methods: total flavones/flavonols were determined with aluminum chloride, and flavonones/dihydroflavonols were determined with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. The results ranged from 9 to 48.6 mg of quercetine kg –1 of honey and 1805 to 2606 mg of pinocembrin kg –1 of honey, respectively. Antioxidant activity was measured with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavengers, and the results of the IC 50 ranged from 3.17 to 8.79 mg/mL. Statistical analysis demonstrated positive correlations between color intensity, flavone and flavonol content, and phenolic content and negative correlations with antioxidant capacity.read more

TL;DR: As a general rule the ethanol extracts of plants belonging to the Verbenaceae family showed lower EC50 values than the other plant extracts, among the partitions, the more polar ones (ethyl acetate and n‐butanol) are those that generally have higher antioxidant activity (AA).

Analytical, Nutritional and Clinical Methods Evaluation of the phenolic content, antioxidant activity and colour of Slovenian honey
TL;DR: The results of the study showed that total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, and color parameters differ widely among different honey types as discussed by the authors, and the relationship between the parameters analysed were found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05).
