Resumen:
The assessment of geographical origin of honey is economically important for producers and consumers as every region may present particular quality characteristics. In the present study, honeys from the seven different regions of Buenos Aires province (Argentina) were characterized by their antioxidant capacity (DPPH, FRAP), total phenolic content (TPC), mineral composition, colour and ash. Honeys showed significant differences among their antioxidant capacity (DPPH), ash, colour and mineral content (P < 0.05). Besides, a good antioxidant activity and low amounts of Cu and Zn (
