چکیده
عسل، فرآورده‌ای حاصل از فعالیت زنبور عسل است که دارای ویژگیهای ارگانولپتیک مطلوب و ارزش تغذیهای بالا است. نوع گیاه، شرایط آب و هوایی منطقه و البته شرایط نگهداری محصول از جمله زمان و دمای نگهداری از عوامل تأثیرگذار بر کیفیت عسل هستند. در این پژوهش، پس از بررسی و مقایسه ویژگیهای کیفی (نسبت فروکتوز به گلوکز، محتوای ساکارز، پلیفنل، هیدروکسی متیل فورفورال، رطوبت، اسیدیته آزاد، اسید لاکتونیک، اسیدیته کل، pH، رنگ، دیاستاز و هدایت الکتریکی) چهار نوع عسل ایرانی )گون، کنار، مرکبات و آویشن( جمع‌آوری شده به روش نمونه‌گیری تصادفی، تأثیر شرایط دمایی نگهداری (4، 23، 30 و 37 درجه سانتیگراد) به مدت 6 ماه متوالی، بر مهمترین ویژگیهای کیفی محصول (هیدروکسی متیل فورفورال، پلیفنل، pH، رنگ) مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. چهار نمونه مورد بررسی از جهت فاکتورهای مورد بررسی با یکدیگر تفاوت معنی‌داری نشان دادند (05/0≥P). بیشترین محتوای ساکارز در عسل کنار و بالاترین نسبت فروکتوز به گلوکز و pH در عسل گون مشاهده شد. عسل آویشن حاوی بالاترین فعالیت دیاستازی و ترکیبات اسیدی و کمترین مقدار رطوبت و pH و عسل کنار محتوای بالاترین میزان لاکتونیک اسید و هدایت الکتریکی بود. مطابق نتایج، اثر نوع عسل بر تمام متغیرهای وابسته در سطح آماری 05/0 معنیدار ارزیابی شد. بررسی تأثیر شرایط نگهداری نشان داد که با افزایش زمان و دمای نگهداری، شدت روشنایی و زاویه رنگ نمونه‌ها کاهش و شاخص شدت رنگ در همه انواع عسل افزایش می‌یابد. محتوای پلیفنل اکثر نمونه‌ها خصوصاً در شرایط نگهداری در دمای 37 درجه سانتیگراد تا ماه سوم و چهارم کاهش و پس از آن افزایش یافت. ذخیره‌سازی منجر به افزایش معنیدار محتوای هیدروکسی متیل فورفورال در نمونه‌ها شد. از این‌رو تعیین شرایط و مدت زمان مناسب نگهداری انواع عسل با توجه به ویژگیهای اولیه متفاوت آن‌ها به منظور بهره‌مندی از بهترین خصوصیات کیفی این محصول ضرورت دارد.

چکیده [English]
Introduction: Honey is a bee product with appropriate organoleptic characteristics and high nutritional value. Vegetative source, climate conditions, time of nectar collecting, bee specious, and also storage condition of product are effective factors on its quality. During the process and storage stages, chemical reactions such as maillard change the quality and nutritional characteristics of the product. The effectiveness of these reactions depends on various parameters such as primary component’s nature, water activity and pH of product as well as the product storage conditions. Different factors such as, carbohydrate content, enzyme activity, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) are introduced as criteria in evaluating qualitative characteristics of honey. HMF is one of the most important factors in this group. It is a consequence of thermal process on foods containing high quantity of fructose and glucose. Therefore, it is considered as an important index on heating and shelf life of this product. In the first step of the present research, qualitative characteristics of four usual Iranian honeys were evaluated. Then, in order to study the effect of storage condition, the quality changes of products at different temperatures and times of storage were investigated.
Materials and methods: In the first stage of the present research, qualitative characteristic (fructose/glucose ratio, sucrose, polyphenol content, hydroxymethylfurfuran, moisture, free acidity, lactic acid, total acidity, pH, color, diastase and electrical conductivity) of four Iranian honey (astragalus, ziziphus, citrus and thyme) collected in random sampling were measured. Then, effect of storage temperature (4, 23, 30 and 37°C) on changes of important qualitative characteristic of product (hydroxymethylfurfural content, polyphenol content, pH, color characteristic) were evaluated monthly for six months.
Results and discussion: According to results, qualitative characteristics of samples were significantly different since the beginning of storage (p≤0.05). Moisture content of samples varied from 14.5 to 16.5%. PH was found to be 4.38 to 4.94, and total acid content ranged from 6.92 to 16.32%. The highest sucrose content was observed in ziziphus honey and the highest fructose-glucose ratio and pH were observed in astragalus honey. Thyme honey contains the highest diastase activity, acidic compounds, and the lowest amount of moisture and pH and ziziphus honey had the highest amount of acid lactic and electrical conductivity (142/0 mmol/cm). The amount of HMF in ziziphus honey was higher than other kind of samples (28.29 mg/ kg), and the content of these component were lower than 5 mg/kg in astragalus and citrus honey. All of the four samples were in permissible range according to maximum acceptable HMF content based on both Iranian national standard and honey international commission (40 mg/kg). In appearance characteristic, L* (brightness) of thyme and citrus honey were more than others and the highest greenness was observed in thyme honey and the highest yellowness were observed in astragalus and ziziphus samples. In the present study, the polyphenol content of samples was 23.33-39.33 (mg gallic acid in 100 g of sample) and thyme honey contained the highest polyphenol content. Diversity in floral is one of the main reason for differences in the qualitative characteristic of samples. Changes in mineral content, phenolic components, and floral origin were considered as the main effective factors in color changes of honey types. Storage condition and honey type had significant effects on qualitative characteristics of product. Increasing time and storage temperature reduced brightness and hue angle, and increased chroma index in all kind of honey. By increasing the temperature and storage time, undesirable HMF content of samples were increased. Among the studied conditions, the best storage temperature in control of HMF content of product was 4 °C. Increasing storage temperature and time decreased the phenolic compounds of samples until the third month, and after that it was increased. In this regard, the effect of higher temperature on increasing polyphenol contents of product was more obvious. This observation is a consequence of secondary compounds formations from browning process in the product. Evaluating correlation among different parameters showed that, there were a positive significant correlation between HMF content with polyphenol compounds (r= 0.738), a* (r= 0.8868) and chroma index (r= 0.373) (p<0.05), and there were a negative significant correlation with brightness of appearance (r= -0.853) and hue angle (r= -0.858) of product at a level of 0.05. Also there were observed positive and significant correlation among polyphenol content of product with a* (r= 0.65) and chroma index (r= 0.298) and also negative and significant correlation with brightness (r= -0.655), hue angle (r= -0.651) and ph (r= -0.258). Therefore, honeyes with more redness and less brightness usually contain higher polyohenol which their participation in Millard reaction is the main reason for higher content of HMF in these samples. Therfore, determining suitable condition and storage time of honey according to their different primary characteristic should be considered in order to protect qualitative characteristic of product.
