Résumé:
Objective: To evaluate the influence of the temperature on honey colour, polyphenol and antimycotic capacity and to evaluate the correlation between these parameters. contents Methods: Sahara honey were heated up to 25, 50, 75 and 100 °C for 15, 30 and 60 min, and their ucoselodu rto i ndteetnesrimtyi,n ep otlhyep htoetnaol lp coolynptehnetnso al ncdo natnetnimts y(cToPtCi)c.
