Physicochemical Properties, Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities and Anti-Hepatocarcinogenic Effect and Potential Mechanism of Schefflera oleifera Honey Against HepG2 Cells

Schefflera oleifera honey (SH) is produced from the nectar of S. Oleifera by worker bees. Due to its unique properties and potential biological activities, this winter honey has attracted much attention. In this study, the physicochemical characteristics, antioxidant and an- tibacterial activities, antitumor effect against HepG2 cells, and its potential mechanisms of SH were systematically evaluated. The results showed that different SH samples differed significantly in their physicochemical...
