Table 1: Selective physico-chemical parameter values for investigated honey samples (water content (%) and water activity (\(\infty\))). As for b* parameter values (Table 2), the recorded minimum was 6.23, and the maximum 30.41. The measurement average for all zones was 15.70. Despite the fact that the Zone between the minimum and maximum values of the b* parameter is relatively vast, the average obtained for acacia honey in correlated to the value found for Slovenian acacia honey [38] (17.95) and to that of Slovakian honey (14.66) [36], but much higher than other Romanian acacia honeys [37]. The highest median value for the L* parameter was recorded in the case of the samples from Zone 1 (59.315), a value close to the one from Zone 3 (59.062), while the value for Zone 2 has shown the lowest value (58.177). Variance values are higher than one and show a greater degree of variation. The results of the ANOVA \(p\) = 0.5662 and \(F\) = 0.575 test show that there are no significant differences between samples when measuring this parameter.
