AB  - Today, special attention is paid to organic honey due to increasing pollution
and numerous toxins, and certified organic honey is described as having no chemical
pollution, including that related to bee migration in search of good flowers that
beekeepers do not directly control. This study aimed to characterize through analysis
5 samples of organic sunflower honey from Banat (Serbia): physicochemical quality
parameters (moisture, HMF, diastase activity, free acidity, glucose and fructose
content, sucrose and ash) and microbiological safety (presence of aerobic mesophilic
bacteria, coliforms, lactic acid bacteria, molds and yeasts). Mean values obtained for
physicochemical parameters are: 16.52% humidity, 8.17 mg/kg HMF, 10.8 diastasis
activity, 24.07 meq/kg of free acidity, 60.8% of glucose and fructose 0.5% sucrose
and 0.01% ash. The microbiota that was isolated from all the samples tested
consisted of Bacillus spp. ranging from 0.50-0.55 x10-2 cfu/g and Saccharomyces
spp., ranging from 0.31-0.44 x10-2 cfu/g. MALDI TOF confirmed preliminary
identification to be Bacillus pumilus, while yeasts were identified as Saccharomyces
cerevisiae. This research could contribute to the valorization of sunflower honey,
which would lead to standardization and increase the production of this product.
