Abstract

Kelulut and Yemeni Sidr honey has been documented to have various therapeutic properties. Investigations associated with the medicinal properties and physicochemical characteristics of Kelulut and Yemeni Sidr honey are growing broadly and receiving raised awareness. This study incorporated and analysed the findings on the biological and physicochemical properties of Kelulut and Yemeni Sidr honey. Kelulut and Yemeni Sidr honey was found to have a wide variety of biological effects attributed to their physicochemical characteristics. Findings showed that Kelulut and Yemeni Sidr honey have anti-bacterial, antibiofilm, anti-virulence, anti-oxidative, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, antiobesity and wound-healing properties. The physicochemical properties of Kelulut and Yemeni Sidr honey were compared and discussed and results revealed that they have high-quality contents and excellent antioxidant sources.

Keywords: Kelulut honey, yemeni sidr honey, health benefits, natural products, antibacterial, antibiofilm, anti-virulence, anti-oxidative, anti-cancer.
