  Aims: To assess the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of two locally available natural honey samples, and determine the total phenolic content (TPC) of the honeys. Methods: Antibacterial activity of two local natural honey samples (citrus honey: LNH1 and mango honey: LNH2) was determined against the clinical bacterial isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 strain, by agar-well diffusion method. The antioxidative activity of the honey samples (LNH1 and LNH2) was determined in DPPH system, and the IC50 values were calculated. The bioactive components present in the test honey samples were assessed qualitatively, and the TPC was quantified. Results: The honey samples showed the presence of different bioactive components (flavonoids, steroids, phenol, terpenoids and quinone); the TPCs were estima.. View More»
