Abstract
Honey has been employed for the treatment of wounds and diseases for ancient time, thanks to its antimicrobial and curative properties. This study aims to present the biochemical characteristics, including the amount of sugar, total phenols, phenolic chemicals, antioxidant properties, and antibacterial activities of a specific type of French honey (Sologne summer forest) in comparison with a manuka honey. According to our findings, the Manuka honey tested has 23% fewer polyphenols total than Sologne summer forest honey. The results showed that the Sologne summer honey had a different polyphenols profile than Manuka honey with specific polyphenol like p- Hydroxybenzoic acid. Additionally, the antioxidant activity of the two honeys is comparable (9 μmole Trolox.g-1 honey). Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of the two honeys is comparable against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Our research indicates for the first time that there are significant nutritional and biological potentials for a French honey from the Sologne summer forest.
