Moreover, some non-quality parameters were investigated such as the pH, fructose, glucose, ratio of fructose\/glucose and invertase. The honey samples were collected from Asir (cold climate) and Jazan (hot climate) regions at the southwestern part of Saudi Arabia. The geographical origin significantly affected the mean value moisture of the Acacia honey (p-value\u2009=\u20090.02), conductivity of the polyfloral honey (p-value\u2009=\u20090.03), sucrose of the Acacia honey (p-value\u2009=\u20090.02), diastase activity of the Acacia (p-value\u2009=\u20090.001), Ziziphus (p-value\u2009=\u20090.046) and polyfloral honey (p-value\u2009\u2264\u20090.001), fructose of the Acacia honey (p-value\u2009=\u20090.01), glucose of the Ziziphus honey (p-value\u2009=\u20090.03), fructose\/ glucose ratio of the Ziziphus honey (p-value\u2009=\u20090.035), and invertase activity of the polyfloral honey (p-value\u2009\u2264\u20090.001). Regarding the effect of the floral origin of the honey from Asir region, the sucrose percentage of the Acacia honey was significantly more than that of the polyfloral honey (p- value\u2009=\u20090.003), the diastase activity of the Acacia honey was significantly more than its activity in the Ziziphus honey (p- value\u2009=\u20090.044), glucose percentage of the Ziziphus honey was significantly more the glucose percentage of the Acacia honey (p-value\u2009=\u20090.009) and the fructose\/ glucose ratio of the Ziziphus honey was significantly more than that of the Acacia and polyforal honeys (p-value\u2009=\u20090.011 and p-value\u2009=\u20090.045, respectively). Concerning the significant effects of the floral origin on the quality parameters of the honey samples from Jazan region, the moisture of the Ziziphus honey was significantly increased when compared to the moisture of the Acacia honey (p-value\u2009=\u20090.038), the acidity of the polfloral honey was significantly more than the acidity of the Acacia honey (p-value\u2009=\u20090.049), the sum of fructose and glucose of the polyfloral honey was significantly increased compared to that of the Acacia honey (p-value\u2009=\u20090.015), the pH of the Ziziphus hiney was significantly more than the pH of the polyfloral honey (0.011) and the fructose of the polfloral honey was significantly more than that of the Acacia honey (p-value\u2009=\u20090.031). The effect of the geographical origin of the honey samples on their quality parameters depends on their floral origin and the effect of their floral origin differs according to their geographical origin. This article suggests considering collectively the geographical and floral origins effect when developing honey standards. However, the Codex standards for honey started considering this issue when it changed the standard concentration of HMF in honey from not more than 80\u201340\u00a0mg\/Kg for honeys from cold climate and 80\u00a0mg\/Kg for honeys from hot climates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-024-59359-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,15]],"date-time":"2024-04-15T20:22:48Z","timestamp":1713212568000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Impact of floral and geographical origins on honey quality parameters in Saudi Arabian regions"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Wed Mohammed Ali","family":"Alaerjani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammed Elimam Ahamed","family":"Mohammed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"59359_CR1","unstructured":"Codex Alimentarius.
