## 4 Discussion  
The studied quality parameters (moisture, pH and conductivity) were within the ranges of the Codex standards [6]. The moisture was significantly affected by the floral origin (_Acacia_ vs. polyfloral) in the honey samples of the Jazan region. The total sugars are affected by the floral origin in the Jazan region (_Acacia_ vs. polyfloral) and the geographical origin (polyfloral Jazan versus polyfloral Asir) [27]. The floral origin significantly affected the pH of the honey samples from the Jazan region (_Zizizplus_ vs. polyfloral), whereas the geographical origin had a significant effect on the pH of the polyfrlosal honey (Jazan vs. Asir). The geographical origin significantly affected the GOx activity of the _Zizizplus_ honey samples and CAT activity of the _Acacia_ honey samples. The GOX activity of the polyfloral honey samples was significantly different compared to its activity in the _Zizizplus_ honey samples of the Jazan region. The range of the moisture percentage in the honey samples of this study was (13.95-20.25%). The results were within the moisture range of honey according to the Codex standards [6] and according to the guide to the production, trading and import of honey and bee products issued by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority [28]. The previously published articles showed that the moisture percentage of the Saudi honey was ranging from 8.8-18.5% [29; 30; 31]. This study found that the floral origin in the Jazan region had a significant effect on the percentage of moisture similar to the findings of [PERSON] and [PERSON] [32] and [PERSON] et al. [33]. The range of the pH of the honey samples was (3.6-7.2). The upper limit of the pH range was slightly higher than the previously reported pH values in Saudi Arabia (5.7) [31; 33]. The US National Honey Board adopted a pH range for honey samples from 3.4 to 6.1 [34]. With regard to the effect of floral and geographical origin on the pH of honey, this study reported that the _Zizizplus_ honey of the Jazan region had significantly increased pH value compared to the polyfloral honey of Jazan. The polyfloral honey of Asir region had significantly increased pH value compared to the pH of the polyfloral honey from the Jazan region. Similar to our findings, [PERSON] et al. [33] and [PERSON] et al. [31] reported significant effects of the floral and geographical origins on the value of the honey pH. Concerning the concentration of total sugars in honey, the range of the total sugars in the study samples was (77.5-84.5%). Similar to our findings, [PERSON] et al. found that the range of the total sugars in Nigerian honey samples was (77.60-86.20) [35]. Other studies reported different total sugar ranges such as (62.85-77.39), (62.24-77.26), (64.99-72.54) and (69.76-79.92) [36]. [PERSON] et al. [36] concluded that the sugar concentration in honey samples from Serbia can be used to differentiate between honey samples of different plant origins. The total sugars of honey are affected by the geographical origin of the honey samples [37]. However, this study reported significant effects of the floral and geographical origins on the concentration of total sugars in honey. The conductivity range of the honey samples of this study was (35-1420 \(\upmu\)S/cm) and the floral and geographical origins had insignificant effects on the conductivity values. According to the Codex Alimentarius [6], the conductivity of honey depends on the floral origin; some honey samples have conductivity of not more than 800 \(\upmu\)S/cm, while others have conductivity of not less than 800 \(\upmu\)S/cm. One previous study reported very high conductivity values for honey samples from Egypt and Yemen ranging from 0.53 \(\pm\) 0.03 to 4.18 \(\pm\) 0.05 mS/cm [1]. The range of the GOx activity in the studied honey samples was (2.24-17.00 U/g). The unit of enzyme activity (U) is defined as the amount of the enzyme that converts micromodes of substrate to a product per minute (\(\upmu\)mol/min) [38].
