Electrical conductivity and ash content of selected honey types

Electrical conductivity depends on ash and acid content in honey and today, due to its simplicity, is used as replacement for ash content determination. Objectives of this work were to determine electrical conductivity and ash content of selected honey types (bastard indigo, black locust, Christ´s thorn, sage, chestnut and honeydew) and relationship between those physicochemical parameters. Electrical conductivity was determined by conductometer and ash content by burning. A linear regression model for relationship between electrical conductivity and ash content as well as high correlation were found.
