Abstract: The nectar of various flowers combined with a variety of enzymatic processes occurring within their honey sacs allows honeybees (Apis mellifera Linnaeus 1761) to produce honey, a key biogenic substance. In the domains of agriculture, microbiology, immunology, and pharmaceuticals, the physicochemical characterization and identification of bioactive chemicals with nutritional qualities found in honey are crucial. Honey has a number of well-established health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and antioxidant qualities, as well as cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective qualities.
