| Sumario: | Honey is a natural sweetener with several functional properties. Although Brazil has an enormous potential in the production of honey, the per capita consumption of this food in the country is among the lowest in the world, its nutritional composition depends on the characteristics of the plants visited by the Apis melliferabees. The objective of this work was to quantify the bioactive compounds and determine the antioxidant activity and minerals present in 12 samples of floral honeys from Mimosa caelsapinifoliaand Pitrocarpa moniliformisproduced by Apis mellíferabees in the Piauícaatinga, Northeastern Brazil. The analysis of the total phenolics and flavonoids content was carried out by the spectrophotometric method, the antioxidant activity was verified by the DPPH and ABTS methods, while the minerals were quantified by ICP-OES. All analyzes were carried out in triplicate, the results were expressed as means and standard deviation, followed by comparison of means by Tukey's t test, and Pearson's correlation was applied to verify the correlation between the botanical origin and theresearched variables. It was found that the bioactive compounds analyzed, the antioxidant capacity and the mineral content were influenced by the botanical origin, with Mimosa caelsapinifoliahoney having the higher levels of phenolic compounds, minerals and antioxidant activity, when compared to Pityrocarpa moniliformishoney. |
