| The effects of floral location on the physicochemical and thermal parameters of honey samples from Enugu North senatorial zone were evaluated. Floral location had significant effects (P 0.05) on viscosity, electrical conductivity, sugar content, free acidity, ach content, moisture content, density, pH, colour, thermal heat conductivity and thermal heat diffusivity except, F/G ratio and specific heat capacity. Honeys from Igbo-Eze South were more viscose than the rest of the honey samples from other floral locations, with a mean viscosity value at 25 oC (15.58cSt) higher than that at 60 oC (12.63cSt). The electrical conductivity, ash content, moisture content and density ranged between 226.5 - 211.45 µS cm-1, 0.06 - 0.57%, 16.59 – 22.55% and 0.82 – 1.25 g... |
