3.2.3. Electrical Conductivity (EC)

The values of EC ranged from 0.23 ± 0.0 to 2.00 ± 0.0 mS/cm, with a mean value of 1.19 ± 0.1 mS/cm (Table 3) for the local honey samples and from 0.05 ± 0.0 to 0.88 ± 0.0 mS/cm, with a mean value of 0.35 ± 0.1 mS/cm for the imported honey samples (Table 4). The mean EC value of local honey (1.19 ± 0.1 mS/cm) was significantly higher than that of imported honey (0.35 ± 0.1 mS/cm) (Table 5), which showed values within the permitted range (≤0.8 mS/cm) of international standards for blossom honey [9,10].
