Comparison of the melissopalynological, antimicrobial and organoleptic composition of honey samples from Apis mellifera L. and Apis florea Gaertn. in Sudan

Comparison of the melissopalynological, antimicrobial and organoleptic composition of honey samples from Apis mellifera L. and Apis florea Gaertn. in Sudan - Grana, 62(5-6), p.342-351, 2023 .

Honey from Apis mellifera and Apis florea was collected from western and eastern regions of Sudan and investigated for quantitative/qualitative pollen analysis, organoleptic characterisation, and antibacterial analysis. Nearly 29 different pollen taxa belonging to 19 families were identified. Based on the frequencies determined: Leguminosae (??10)was the dominant family, Poaceae and Amaranthaceae were sporadic (9-3)whereas Cyperaceae was rare (
