Total phenol content expressed as mg gallic acid equivalents per 100 g of honey sample; 2total flavonoid content expressed as mg rutin equivalents per 100 g of honey sample; 3TFd/TPh: the ratio of TFd in relation to TPh. TPh and TFd values are mean ± SD of three replicates. 4Values sharing the same letters in the same row are not significantly different from each other at the level of 5%.
