Abstract Our objective was to correlate colour with total phenolic compounds, total flavonoids and antioxidant capacity of honey from the Humid Chaco region. With this purpose, 19 representative samples were selected from the 2009-2012 year period. Pollen analysis showed a predominance of native species of different landscapes such as forests and wetlands. Of the total number of samples, eleven were mixed or multifloral and eight samples were dominated by different native nectariferous woody species. The colour of honey, according to the Pfund scale, ranged from extra light amber to dark amber. Total phenolic content ranged from 40.18 to 118.82 mg GAE/100… More >
