Honey is a natural product produced by honey bees whose composition depends on factors such as climate, soil and floral source. It is one of the foods naturally produced, with a characteristic taste and considerable nutritional value. Due to the worldwide demand for large-scale production and seasonality, adulteration has become increasingly frequent. Minas Gerais is the fourth largest Brazilian state producer of honey. Considering that there are few studies on the characterization of honeys in this state and none related to its mesoregions, the objective of this study was to evaluate the physical-chemical, electrical and rheological characteristics of 48 honeys collected in 6 mesoregions of Minas Gerais, corresponding to 75% of its production area. The present study focused on characterization, investigation of the possibility of adulteration and the influence of blossom and regions on the physical-chemical, rheological and electrical properties. Statistical characterization using principal component analysis and clustering were also used. The results suggested that the samples were compatible with the identity and quality standards recommended by Brazilian legislation. Furthermore, the results from rheological analysis and impedance spectroscopy showed that there was a profile specific for each type of blossom. The use of statistical methods on physical-chemical results was a useful tool to characterize different types of honey based on the variables of each group in relation to the similarity between the samples.

蜂蜜是蜜蜂生产的天然产品，其成分取决于气候，土壤和花卉来源等因素。它是自然产生的食物之一，具有独特的味道和可观的营养价值。由于世界范围内对大规模生产和季节性的需求，掺假变得越来越频繁。米纳斯吉拉斯州（Minas Gerais）是巴西第四大蜂蜜生产国。考虑到在这种状态下很少有关于蜂蜜特性的研究，而与蜂蜜的中观区域无关，因此，本研究的目的是评估在米纳斯吉拉斯州的6个中观区域中收集的48种蜂蜜的物理化学，电学和流变学特性。占其生产面积的75％。本研究着重于表征，调查掺假的可能性以及开花和区域对物理化学，流变学和电学性质的影响。还使用主成分分析和聚类进行统计表征。结果表明，样品与巴西立法所建议的身份和质量标准兼容。此外，流变分析和阻抗谱的结果表明，每种花都具有特定的轮廓。基于物理化学结果的统计方法的使用是一种有用的工具，可根据与样品之间的相似性相关的每组变量来表征不同类型的蜂蜜。还使用主成分分析和聚类进行统计表征。结果表明，样品与巴西立法所建议的身份和质量标准兼容。此外，流变分析和阻抗谱的结果表明，每种花都具有特定的轮廓。基于物理化学结果的统计方法的使用是一种有用的工具，可根据与样品之间的相似性相关的每组变量来表征不同类型的蜂蜜。还使用主成分分析和聚类进行统计表征。结果表明，样品与巴西立法所建议的身份和质量标准兼容。此外，流变分析和阻抗谱的结果表明，每种花都有特定的分布图。基于物理化学结果的统计方法的使用是一种有用的工具，可根据与样品之间的相似性相关的每组变量来表征不同类型的蜂蜜。流变分析和阻抗谱的结果表明，每种花都有一个特定的轮廓。基于物理化学结果的统计方法的使用是一种有用的工具，可根据与样品之间的相似性相关的每组变量来表征不同类型的蜂蜜。流变分析和阻抗谱的结果表明，每种花都有一个特定的轮廓。基于物理化学结果的统计方法的使用是一种有用的工具，可根据与样品之间的相似性相关的每组变量来表征不同类型的蜂蜜。
