This paper analyzed the total phenolic content,protein content,color and browning index,1,1-diphenyl-2-trinitrophenylhydrazine(DPPH)radical scavenging power and ferric ion reducing/antioxidant power(FRAP)of eight different honeys from China.The results showed that the highest total phenolic content of honey was jujube honey,followed by Apis cerana honey and vitex honey,and the strongest DPPH scavenging and FRAP antioxidant capacities were found in jujube honey and the weakest in acacia honey.The correlation study showed that the antioxidant activity of honey was significantly and positively correlated with the total phenolic content and browning index(r>0.6),and the results of the storage experiments at different temperatures further confirmed that the antioxidant activity of honey was enhanced by an increase in the color browning index.The experimental results provide new ideas and data support for the study of antioxidant activity of honey.
