dc.description.abstractFor ages, honey has held a place for their importance in traditional medicine. old folks in this country used honey as a remedy for sore throat. recently, there has been so much interest in research on this natural product. however, the composition and physiochemical properties of honey responsible for antioxidant and antimicrobial effects were variable depending on its floral sources and location. Well-researched honey such as Manuka honey from New Zealand and Australia has been extensively studied and characterized. Unlike Malaysia Tualang Honey, even though it is widely used and consumed in Malaysia, there are limited study reports to support its medical claims. Phenolic acids and flavonoids are two of the most important components responsible for the antioxidant effects in honey. Therefore, in present study, we designed a study to compare the total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and antibacterial potential of Tualang honey with Manuka honey. TPC and TFC of Tualang honey (88.44mg of GAE/100g of Tualang honey; 29.232mg of rutin/100g of Tualang honey) exhibited higher content compared to Manuka honey (83.12mg GAE/100g of Manuka honey; 16.32mg of rutin/100g of Manuka honey0. As for antibacterial assay, Tualang honey (31.67±0.764) shows better inhibition to Streptococcus pyogenes, compared to Manuka honey (31.50±0.500). These findings exhibited promising potential of Tualang honey to be used as an alternative treatment for Streptococcal pharyngitis. Further in-vivo studies in animal and human should be done to ascertain its effectiveness.en_US
