Honey, a natural product with rich history of medicinal use, has gained increasing recognition for its potent antimicrobial properties, particularly against antibiotic-resistant pathogens. This review focuses on the mechanisms honey, including efficacy resistant bacteria, such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The action honey is multifactorial, involving hydrogen peroxide production, phenolic compounds, high sugar concentrations, presence bee defensin-1. composition varies based floral source, which can influence strength. Certain types, Manuka are effective in clinical applications due to their higher levels bioactive compounds. Honey also been shown disrupt bacterial biofilms, major factor antibiotic resistance, enhancing therapeutic potential treating chronic wounds infections, especially patients compromised immune systems. Moreover, honey’s ability improve wound healing, reduce inflammation, promote tissue regeneration highlights broad profile. As resistance continues challenge modern healthcare, offers promising complementary treatment therapy. Research into specific components synergistic effects other agents, like ginger propolis, could expand applications. Standardizing products medical use establishing guidelines essential optimizing benefits. scientific understanding deepens, integration healthcare systems an adjunct therapy expected increase, offering alternative fight infectious diseases.

Physical activity creates an imbalance between the production of free radicals and body's antioxidant defense system, known as oxidative stress. increases need for oxygen, improving radical products. Thus, causing increased levels malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GLU), superoxide dismutase (SOD) can be overcome by consuming honey that contains antioxidants. This study aimed to determine effect administration on physical MDA, GLU, SOD blood in male Wistar rats. Rats were then divided into 5 groups: healthy control, negative M1 3 (giving 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 g/kg BW (gram per kilogram body weight) twice weekly 8 weeks). High-intensity swimming exercises performed 1 h/day, days/week weeks. According manual kit, carried out ELISA method. Administration significantly decreased MDA level (49.18 ± 0.74 ng/mL) (132.43±10.30 pg/mL) compared all groups (p < 0.05). The GLU but no significant > 0.05) difference existed groups. It may possible supplementation following exercise would effectively attenuate status.

This study evaluates the physicochemical properties, phenolic and flavonoid content, antioxidant activity, molecular docking interactions of honey from eastern Morocco. Analysis confirmed compliance with European Commission standards, moisture content ranging 15.39% to 19.74% pH between 3.79 4.94. Carob exhibited highest protein (0.42%), polyphenol concentration (720.16 mg gallic acid/kg), (90.5 catechin/kg), activity (63.5% DPPH inhibition). Strong correlations were observed properties. Molecular identified ethyl phenylacetate thymol as key compounds significant cytochrome c peroxidase, suggesting potential therapeutic effects. DFT calculations supported these findings, indicating may enhance activity.

The Codex Alimentarius Commission has adopted a maximum level for lead in honey (0.1 mg/kg). Despite representing population of more than half billion, exposure and risk assessments specific to the Arab region are lacking. aim this work was collect analytical data available countries assess caused by from these samples local consumers. A regional mean concentration honey, obtained through meta-analysis 57 studies, used deterministic adults (nephrotoxicity cardiovascular effects) young children (developmental neurotoxicity). pooled 0.12 mg/kg [95%CI: 0.07-0.21] (0.13 mg/kg, if non-detects considered at their highest possible value) obtained.

These values produced using GEMS consumption data, considering same intake both potentially overestimating children. Nevertheless, food competent authorities should consider measures reduce sale prevent trade constraints better protect vulnerable populations.

The capacity of honey to break light is used for refractometric determination humidity. In the present work, a manual refractometer was measure total soluble solids (73% - 86%) which are corresponding values refractive indices stated in Chataway’s Table. relationship between solids, water content and index obtained graphics gave equations that could be directly calculate both from its solids. This simple, fast easy way applied without utilizing expensive refractometers due their high cost or lack usage training. Furthermore, suggested equation more accurate than current reference table (i.e. Table) rapidly utilized calculating samples.
