Abstract :In this study, the phenolic components of pine honey, which is a secretion honey, were studied. Total polyphenol content and total flavanoid contents of the honeys were ranged from 30 to 52 mg GAE/100 g and 0,86 to 1,58 mg QE/100 g, respectively. The phenolic composition of the honeys were analyzed by HPLC-UV assay with C18 column. The honey was found to be rich in protocathuic acid, chrysin, caffeic acid phenyl ester, p-OH benzoic acid, catechine, luteolin and gallic acid.Keywords : Honey, pine, Anatolia
