Biological properties of extracts from the mixture of honey and berries of Pistacia lentiscus .

Honey is a product of the hive elaborated by the bees of the species . As well as , is a species widely used in traditional medicine that is part of a large family of . To determine the biological properties including the antioxidant activity of the mixture of the extract of berries associated with honey at different concentrations (0.5%, 2%, 4%, 8% and 12%). Physicochemical parameters and phenolic compound amounts. The antioxidant activities (reducing power, FRAP, CUPRAC, TAC, DPPH, ABTS, and ferrozine) were also tested. According to the physico-chemical parameters, the honey and the mixture analyzed are in conformity with the international standards. The results of the antioxidant assay gave a significant content of total phenolic compounds for the H/DP mixtures, the sample of honey alone analyzed exerts a weak antioxidant activity compared to the two mixtures made. The honey and compound constitute an important source of antioxidants which intensifies very significantly the antioxidant activity of the blend.
