GI, Gelam irradiated; GNI, Gelam nonirradiated; NI, Nenas irradiated; NNI, Nenas nonirradiated honey. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation from three independent experiments (n = 3). Superscripts a and b indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) between irradiated and nonirradiated (similar honey type) at similar concentrations. Superscripts c and d indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) between irradiated or nonirradiated (different honey type) at similar concentrations.
