- Abstract
Honey is an animal origin food with sugars as main component hence it is used mostly as a healthy natural sweetener. Even if many studies emphasise on the bioactive components of honey (phenolic acids, flavonoids, vitamin C, proline) which are responsible for its antioxidant activity, vegetal origin food especially red fruits as forest berries, are known as the main antioxidant source for human diet. This study proposes to use fresh preparations of rape honey and rosehip juice or rosehippowder in different proportions, instead of traditional rosehip jelly prepared with sugar. Those mixtures combine their properties in terms of taste and at the same time they are able to provide important antioxidant content. Total phenolic content determined by Folin-Ciocalteu spectrophotometric method for tested mixtures showed a raisefrom 10 to 25 times compared to rape honey.The phenolic content and the antioxidant activity determined by FRAP test are strongly correlated to the rosehip contentof the mixtures,with R2values over 0.96. The rosehip powder allows obtainingconsistent products useful in pasty not only as fresh product.
