was used.A working FRAP solutionwas prepared by mixture of 10 volumes of 300 mmol L1 acetate buffer (pH¼3.6) with one volume10 mmol L1 TPTZ solution and one volume 20 mmol L1 FeCl3 solution. TPTZ was dissolved in 40 mmol L1 hydrochloric acid.Absorbency of prepared FRAP solution at l¼593 nm in t ¼0 was 0.120 0.010. Honey samples were added in amounts of 10 mL (0.5 g mL1) and AOA was calculated as absorbency increase from five parallel determinations and expressed in mg ascorbic acid equivalent in kg of honey.
