The impact of modern techniques treatments for antioxidant activity and antimicrobial ability of honey (review)

https://doi.org/10.37493/2307-910X.2023.3.13

Abstract

The results of studies of the effect of processing on the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of honey are of interest to the scientific community, since the parameters and method of processing affect the quality of honey. The purpose of the article is to review scientific studies of the results of the impact of modern processing methods on the antioxidant activity and antibacterial properties of honey. The review includes articles published in English and Russian for the period 2010–2023. In the process of scientific research, the Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed and Elsevier databases and the eLIBRARY electronic library were used. The results of scientific studies have shown that components that affect the antioxidant activity and antimicrobial properties of honey can change during processing, and processed honey may have a low level of antioxidant and antibacterial activity. Heat treatment and microwave treatment of honey adversely affect the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of honey. Unlike other nonthermal methods, high pressure treatment and gamma irradiation do not affect the antibacterial activity and antioxidant properties of honey. Ultrasonic treatment increases the antioxidant activity of honey. The presented scientific review can be used for further scientific research, as well as by enterprises that collect and process honey in choosing the best processing methods in the production process.
