Honey Effect The Kruskal–Wallis test revealed a highly significant effect of honey concentration on bacterial growth inhibition (χ 2 = 189.79, df = 9, p < 0.0001).
Honey Effect The Kruskal–Wallis test revealed a highly significant effect of honey concentration on bacterial growth inhibition (χ 2 = 189.79, df = 9, p < 0.0001).
Although none of the pairwise comparisons reached statistical significance after the applied correction, trends close to significance were observed between type 4 honey and types 1 and 2.
In contrast, phenolic content showed only a moderate positive correlation with FRAP values (r = 0.55, p = 0.0621), which did not reach statistical significance.
Interestingly, trends near significance were identified between honey type four and honeys one and two, suggesting that honey type four may have reduced antimicrobial activity.
