The Quality of Romanian Honey Varieties - Mineral Content and Textural Properties

SUMMARY

The viscosity, flow behaviour index, consistency index and mineral content of severalhoney varieties were measured for four consecutive years (2009-2011). Potassium concentration hadthe most impressive variation from 532 mg/kg in 2009 for the sunflower honey variety to 112,5mg/kgin 2010 for the rapeseed plant honey. Strontium concentrations were less than 0.3 mg/kg, howeverfurther investigation is needed in order to certify these findings. We have suggested that honeyviscosity and its variation with temperature may be a relevant quality parameter due especially toconsumers’ preference for high viscosity honey varieties.
