Abstract

Eight types of bee honey represented different regions of Saudi   Arabia country. Fakhera, Rabie Foyad, El Bashaier, Rabie Kabba, El Saiel Al Kabeer, El Nokhbba, Taba and OmmAzooba were analyzed to determine several organic acid were found as a chemical marker of Saudian bee honey types. It was proved that among the detected acids, formic and Malonic acids were the main acid in the eight honeys, also were detected in the highest amounts as compared with the other organic acids. Oxalic, shikimic, butiric and benzoic acids were not detected in any of the Saudi Arabia tested honeys. Tartaric acid was detected only in Rabie Kabba honey. We can suggested that organic acid profiles can help to distinguish between different honeys, according to their botanical and geographical origins, and can be also used to protect honey spoilage.
