PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND MINERAL CONTENT IN MALLAWA’S HONEY
Abstract
We were found 13 mineral essential and non-essential elements in Mallawa forest’s honey using ICP-OES. Characteristic moisture content, ash content, electrical conductivity and pH are also performed. The Largest mineral content of honey is K up to 103.6 mg/L followed by Ca, Mg and Na (mg/L), respectively 19.6; 7.01; and 3.39. Some micro minerals found in Mallawa’s honey such as Fe, Mn, Se, Co, and Ni (mg/L), respectively 0.497; 0.518; 0.068; 0,036; 0,017. Heavy metals Cd is also present in very small concentrations average of 0.005 mg/L.References
