Table 2.
Describes the different artificial diets’ effects on quality parameters of honey (pH, Diastase activity, Moisture content, Ash content, Electrical conductivity, Minerals, Fructose, Total Phenolic content, Flavonoids, and ORAC) with respect to control diet group. The mean and standard error (SE) are provided along with the statistical classification indicated by letters (a, b, c, d) as per the significance.
