Summary
Honey is a beneficial nutrient collected by honeybees from the nectars of the flowers and the composition is changed by honeybees before it is put into honeycomb cells. The chemical composition of honey varies according to geographical origin and flower diversity. The composition of honey varies according to the plant species in the region where the production is made and the time of the production. In this thesis, in order to determine some quality criteria of the honey produced from chaste flowers in different regions; moisture, ash, sugar, pH, acidity, HMF, diastase and colour determination were made and all these factors were evaluated together.
