Chemical and biological properties of honey from Thai stingless bee (Tetragonula leaviceps)

Honey from stingless bees (Tetragonula laeviceps) was collected from Chantaburi and Trat provinces in Thailand where bees are kept for commercial honey production. The honey was studied for its physiochemical, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. For physiochemical analysis, compared to Apis me...

The honey was studied for its physiochemical, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. For physiochemical analysis, compared to Apis mellifera honey, the honey samples collected from stingless bees were significantly greater in total moisture amount (26.98 ± 0.23 g/100g), ash content (0.26 ± 0.04 g/100g), pH (3.62 ± 0.01), total acidity (81.37 ± 0.55 meq/kg), electrical conductivity (0.62 ± 0.00 mS/cm), and HMF (1.08 ± 0.13 ppm), but no diastase activity could be detected.
