%X Four types of Apis mellifera honey collected in the eastern region of Romania were screened for their total phenolic content by the Folin-Ciocalteau method, for anti radical power as assessed by DPPHradical scavenging assay, for the FRAP assay-ferric reducing antioxidant power. The antioxidant effect over a substrate sensitive to lipid per oxidation and also the presence of some pigments with antioxidant action in honey-ABS 450 were evaluated. All assays revealed the following order of the obtained values: Lime honey>poly-flower honey>Sea buckthorn honey>Acacia honey.
