Abstract:

The qualities of Sulla honey samples of Médéa region (Algeria) were evaluated by determing the pollenspectrum and physicochemical attributes. It is generally accepted that a minimum content of 45% of Hedysarumcoronarium (Sulla) pollen is necessary to classify an Sulla honey as unifloral. The samples were analysed for parameters including moisture, electrical conductivity, hydroxymethylfurfural, pH, acidity (free, lactone andtotal), sugars (fructose, glucose, sucrose and total sugar), fructose+glucose, fructose/glucose, glucose/moisture, proteins and colour. Qualitative pollen analysis showed the presence of 76 types from 35 families, withFabaceae, Cistaceae, Asteraceae, and Myrtaceae being the most frequent. The overall pollen content can beconsidered as medium. All the samples presented low values of hydroxymethylfurfural and lactone acidity. Thedegree of colour varied from white to amber. Moisture, proteins content, fructose, glucose, sucrose andelectrical conductivity were according to international standards.Keywords: pollen analysis; honey; physicochemical proprieties; sulla; Algeria
