STUDIES ON SOME PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF EGYPTIAN AND IRAQIAN HONEY

Eighteen honey samples were collected from Egyptian and Iraqian to evaluate some physical properties: Moisture(%), Total soluble solids(TSS), Electrical conductivity(EC), Viscosity and Specific gravity. The final results indicated that it was not found significant difference between Egyptian and Iraqian honeys in relation to moisture percentages. It not found significant differences between Egyptian and Iraqian honeys in relation to soluble solids (TSS%). The obtained results cleared that low significant differences between Egyptian and Iraqian honeys in relation to Electrical conductivity (EC). The results indicated that low significant differences between Egyptian and Iraqian honeys in relation to viscosity. In relation to specific gravity in both Egyptian and Iraqian honey samples, it not found significant differences between Egyptian honey (clover, citrus and cotton) and also between Iraqian honeys in all samples.
