%0 Journal Article %T DETERMINATION OF TOTAL PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS AND ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY OF ANZER HONEY PRODUCED IN RIZE, TURKEY %A Fatma Hepsa£¿ %J - %D 2019 %X The purposes of this study is to determine the physico-chemical and bioactive properties of Anzer honey, which is produced in widespread of Anzer plateau in Rize. Mineral contents of samples were determined by Inductivelly Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES). The most abundant minerals were potassium, calcium, sodium, and magnesium, ranging between 1265.87 - 5887.65, 299.56 - 854.36, 289.41 - 591.45, and 41.54 - 90.54 mg/kg, respectively. In addition, this study shows that the color of Anzer honey is quite different and it is usually light yellow and some of it is dark brown. The total phenolic content of the samples (TPC) was found between 802.6- 1352.6 ¦Ìg GAE / g honey. Total antioxidant contents (TAC) were determined between 9.12-20.69 ¦Ìmol TE / g. TAC of honey samples clearly shows that it contributes to TPC and sweeping activity %K Anzer %K ICP-OES %K DPPH %K TAC %K TPC %U http://dergipark.org.tr/gida/issue/46722/530188
