Evaluating the Antioxidant Properties of Unifloral Honey (Apis mellifera L.) from Ethiopia

Table 3

Antioxidant properties between the tested unifloral types.

Parameters	Unifloral types ()							LSD	P-V	CV
	Vernonia honey	C. macrostachyus honey	Guizotia honey	C. arabica honey	Eucalyptus honey	S. abyssinica honey
TPC (mg GAE/100 g of honey)	^a	^b	^c	^c	^e	^f	49.2	2.1	<0.0001	2.4
TFC (mg QE/100 g of honey)	^a	^b	^d	^d	^e	^f	40.4	3.8	<0.0001	5.4
AC (mg AAE/100 g of honey)	^a	^b	^c	^c	^c	^c	19.9	3.5	<0.0001	10

Different superscripts in a row vary statistically at a 1% probability level. Note: mg GAE/100 g of honey = milligrams of gallic acid equivalent in 100 g of honey; mg QE/100 g of honey = milligrams of quercetin equivalent in 100 g of sample; mg AAE/100 g of honey = milligrams of ascorbic acid equal in hundred grams of honey; = mean; LSD = least significant difference; P-V = value; CV = coefficient of variation in % age.
