Determination of the biological value of beekeeping products

This article examines the biological value of bee products using the example of honey mixed herbs produced in different regions. An assessment of the quality of natural honey on organoleptic, physicochemical indicators was carried out. In addition to the indicators regulated by GOST R 54644-2011, as well as the “Rules of veterinary and sanitary examination of honey for sale on the market”, studies were conducted to determine the number of microorganisms and the antimicrobial properties of honey. These indicators were also considered as characterizing the quality of honey and, therefore, determining its value. It has been established that honey samples meet the requirements of regulatory documents and exhibit bacteriostatic action against the test cultures of Serratia marcescens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
