Honey was harvested directly from super of the colonies in three apiaries spread in the Floresta and Laranjeira Islands, from August2005 to August 2006. Twenty-four samples of organic honey produced by Africanized honeybees were evaluated. The following parameterswere analyzed: pH, acidity, formol index, hydroxymethylfurfural, ashes, color, electric conductivity and moisture. Three replications persample were performed for laboratorial analysis, giving the means and standard deviation. Most honey samples were in conformity with theNormative Instruction 11 from October 20, 2000. However, 4.17% were not in accordance with the moisture standards, 8.33% showed highconcentrations of hydroxymethylfurfural, thus, totalizing 12.50% of non-complying samples. Nevertheless, 87.50% of the analyzed honeysamples are within the standards, being characterized as an organic product of excellent quality, with good commercialization perspectivesin the market. 2011 artículo científico 0101-2061 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=395940110013 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3959 Ciência e Tecnologia de Alimentos application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Ciência e Tecnologia de Alimentos Ciência e Tecnologia de Alimentos (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.31
