Abstract

Honey is an important natural compound that is taken for food and medicine purposes and some additives can be used to increase its health effects and quality. In this research, we investigated the effect of addition palm pollen, bee pollen and basil oil under different storage temperatures on the formation of hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) and pH. The treatments consist of adding the pollen grains (from 1 to 5%) and the oil (from 100 to 500 ppm) and storage them at different temperatures (30, 40 and 50°C) for one month, two months and three months. The quality was estimated by HMF determination by HPLC method and pH measurement. The storage temperature and best treatment for honey was at 30°C with addition of 2.5% and 5% palm pollen. Storage for one month is better than storage for two months at 40°C and also at 50°C. On the other hand, the pH increases from 4 to 6 with rising temperature and storage time. When adding pollen to honey, it is best to store at low temperature not exceeding 30°C. Also, the addition of basil oil has a better effect than pollen during storage
