Reviewer 1 Report
Comments:
line 59 - it should be Alimentarius
line 101, 129 - it should be free acidity
line 144 - it should be electric conductivity
line 155 - is 10g - it should be 10 g
is 75m - is suould be 75 mL
line 158, 160, 266 - there is a record hidroksimeti furfural, and in other workplaces hydroxymethylfurfural - a uniform record of names should be used
line 179 - it should be ash
line 181 - it sholud be mL
why no standard deviations were given in tables 2 and 3
shoulder in tables 2 and 3 of statistical significance
The authors in line 297 refer to table 4, which was not included in the text of the work.
It would also be appropriate to analyze the sugars content by HPLC. This would enrich the article considering that in the introduction the authors refer to the presence of sugars in honey.

Answer: Corrected
line 181 - it sholud be mL
Answer: Corrected
why no standard deviations were given in tables 2 and 3
Answer: Table 4 presents the date expressed as means ± standard deviations (SD)
shoulder in tables 2 and 3 of statistical significance
Answer: Table 4 presents the statistical diffrences between Kosovo's and honey samples
The authors in line 297 refer to table 4, which was not included in the text of the work.
Answer: Table 4 was added
It would also be appropriate to analyze the sugars content by HPLC. This would enrich the article considering that in the introduction the authors refer to the presence of sugars in honey.
Answer: We agree that the analyses of the sugars content by HPLC would enrich the article. The problem is that for the time being we do not have HPLC in our laboratory. In 2022, we will further investigate some other parameters of Kosovo’s and imported honey samples (fresh samples) including specific sugars content.

Reviewer 2 Report
An interesting study and clear conclusions.
English language and style should be revised; some termes have to be corrected and unified, such as "hidroksimetilfurfural", whose correct English writing is "hydroxymethylfurfural" or "physical-chemical" and "physicochemical".
In the text, there are many reiterations that should be eliminated because they make reading the text heavy in some paragraphs.
Table 4 is missing in the draft that I have received.
Some references should be included and some others are incorrectly or incompletely included in its section.

Yes, the new version can be published in the layout you have sent to me. Anyway, I am sending it again, with a comment that I have inserted and that should be taken in account and the change, made in the definitive version.
