The aim of this study is to determine and compare the physicochemical and biological characterization of some honey samples in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Türkiye. Physicochemical tests investigated the compliance of honey samples with the Turkish Food Codex. The phenolic components were analyzed by RP- HPLC-PDA. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents (TPC, TFC), antioxidant capacity (FRAP, DPPH), urease, glucose-oxidase, and antimicrobial activity (Disc diffusion, MIC) of the samples were determined, and FTIR and UV-Vis analyses were conducted. The spectra of the honey samples revealed the characteristic bands corresponding to the functional groups of minor components. As a result of the physicochemical analyses, it was determined that some of the samples examined did not comply with the standard values defined in the Turkish Food Codex in terms of the examined parameters. Spectral findings show that honey samples have a rich chemical composition. Anzer honey is preferable to other kinds with its rich phenolic and antioxidant content and relatively high antimicrobial activity.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the nutrition of school-age children and the influence of their parents. Method: The study involved 259 school-age children aged 9-12 and their volunteering parents from a province in Türkiye. A questionnaire was administered to the children questioning sociodemographic data and basic nutritional information, anthropometric measurements were taken, and the Parent Mealtime Action Scale was applied to their parents. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS 26 program. Results: It was found that the snack consumption status of children was related to the income status of the family's daily fruit and vegetable consumption (p<0.01). It has been found that animal fat restricted diet is associated with growth status in children (p<0.01). It has been determined that the children's eating situation is related to the persistent behavior of parents (p<0.05). It has been found that children who do not consume chips at all are also fed restricted animal fats in their daily diet. It was determined that bagel/cereal consumption was also excessive in children in whom rewarding was applied excessively (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result, it was determined that school-age children's own preferences in food choices, as well as the parent's behavior and educational status, and the family's income level also have a significant impact. It is thought that it will be beneficial to provide nutrition education to parents and children in order to develop the right eating habits in school-age children and to increase the level of nutrition knowledge.
