Abstract
Some quality parameters were determined for the filtered flower honeys harvested in 2021 from the center and 7 districts of Bingöl province. The moisture, free acidity, electrical conductivity, pH and color parameters of the supplied filtered flower honey samples were investigated. The average values of 22 honey samples collected from the center and districts of Bingöl were determined as; humidity 15.43±0.06, free acidity 14.584±0.427 meq kg-1, electrical conductivity 0.228±0.001 (mS cm-1), pH 3.48±0.015 and color parameters L*, a*, b* values 58.404±0.275, 3.906±0.033, 38.552, respectively. According to these results, it was observed that the investigated filtered flower honeys were within the limit values specified in the Turkish Food Codex Honey Communiqué.
