Honey, a natural sweetener has been used universally as a complete food and in complementary medicine since early antiquity. Honey contains over 180 substances, including sugars mainly fructose and glucose, water and a plethora of minor constituents such as vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. The chemical composition of honey varies depending on floral origin, environment and geographical conditions. The sugar components dominate honey composition and they are accountable for sensory and physicochemical properties in food industry. Although present in small quantities, non-sugar components are the major contributors to the health benefits of honey. Our review summarizes and discusses composition of honey, its protective effects and possible action modes on risk factors of atherosclerosis.

Chitosan films (CF) with cinnamon bark oil (CO) incorporated at 0% (control), 0.25%, 0.5%, and 1.0% v/v were prepared by an emulsion method. The films were characterized based on their physical properties (solubility, water vapor permeability, optical property, and microstructure) and antioxidant properties (DPPH, ABTS, and its protective effects on human erythrocytes). The results showed that the incorporation of 0.5 and 1.0% of CO into the CF significantly decreased its solubility to 22% of the control (p<0.05). The water vapor permeability of the CF-CO was significantly reduced to 40% with low concentrations of CO (0.25%) incorporated into the CF. In general, the films presented a yellow coloration and an increase in transparency with the incorporation of CO into the CF. It was also observed that the incorporation of CO increased the antioxidant activity between 6.0-fold and 14.5-fold compared to the control, and the protective capacity against erythrocyte hemolysis increased by as much as 80%.

padi Centil (Capsicum frutescens) powder with better physicochemical properties. The effects of drying at different temperatures (50˚C, 60˚C, and 70˚C) on chili padi Centil powder was evaluated through its functional properties, including moisture content, color, water holding capacity, oil holding capacity and water solubility index as well as total phenolic content determination. Chili padi Centil powder dried at 70˚C had permitted level of moisture content (10.38%). Drying treatment at 70˚C also produced significantly smaller particle size powder (1301.1821 μm) with higher water holding capacity (2.67%), oil holding capacity (1.3%) and water solubility index (7.65%) compared to chili padi Centil dried at 50˚C and 60˚C. The powder dried at 50˚C and 70˚C showed significant visible color difference where 50˚C drying temperature resulted in intense red color powder whereas 70˚C drying temperature resulted in degraded orange color powder. The drying treatment significantly degraded the total phenolic content of chili powder.
