| Abstract | ||||
| Eight multifloral of Saudi honeys from different botanical origin collected from eight regions were studied Eight region samples of Saudi honeys were (Fakhera, Rabie Fayad, EL Bashaier, Rabie Kobba, El-Saiel Al Kabeer, El-Nokhba, Tabba and Om Azoaba) The chemical parameters were measured including proline and enzymes of diastase, invertase and catalase. The results of chemical composition show that the diastase content ranged from 3.0-23.04 (ON). the invertase content ranged from 9.54-55.63 (u/kg) and the catalase content ranged from 0.008-0.15 (K). The proline content ranged from 52.38·14286 mg/1 ~Og, Protein content 0.05-0.35%. Minerals of copper (Cu) , manganes(Mn} , cadmlum(Cd) and lead(Pb) were not found in all honey types analyzed. The values of potassium (338.98 - 29927 ppm) is the predominant elements in a:1 honey types, while Iron values (9 13 - 57.73 ppm) is the minor elements In al\ honey types | ||||
