Abstract
To evaluate biological activity of honeydew honey produced by Apis mellifera L. in Korea, we measured antioxidant activity by using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl), ABTS [2,2-azobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate)], FRAP (Ferric reducing antioxidant power), and total polyphenol content assays. Korean honeydew honey respectively scavenged 26% and 86% of DPPH and ABTS radicals at the highest concentration of 10 mg/mL. In the result of FRAP assay, Korean honeydew honey showed activity (126 µM of FRAP value) to reduce Fe3+ to Fe2+. Total polyphenol content was 73.41 mg GAE/kg. Korean honeydew honey exhibited excellent antioxidant activity due to having high radicals scavenging ability and reducing power of ferric ion as well as the presence of phenolic compounds. These findings suggest that Korean honeydew honey has great potential as a functional food material.
