Abstract

Objective: To perform physicochemical analyses, pollen count, evaluation of antioxidant activity, and quantification of caffeine in honeys derived from the flowering of Coffea arabica, originating from two distinct locations: M1 (Santana da Vargem) and M2 (Felício dos Santos). Methodology: For the analyses, tests for botanical identification, Fiehe reaction, Lund test, diastase enzymatic test, dye test, presence of dextrins test, color classification, acidity determination, moisture determination, determination of hydroxymethylfurfural, determination of reducing sugars, determination of insoluble solids, ash content determination, apparent sucrose, total polyphenols, antioxidant activity analysis, and caffeine quantification were performed. Results: It was possible to observe that only the hydroxymethylfurfural content of sample M2 is above the allowed limit, the other analyses are within the limits established by normative instruction no. 11 of 10/20/2000, besides high levels of polyphenols, and similar caffeine dosage for both honeys. Conclusion: The differences observed between the honeys are likely related to the climate and region in which they were produced. Regarding antioxidant activity, the best result was found for M1; however, higher levels of polyphenols and caffeine were found in M2.
