For characterizing the nutritional quality of two honeys from Côte d'Ivoire, a collection of 18 samples from the cities of Kouto (North) and Touba (West) was carried out during three periods. A biochemical analysis of the honeys was performed then the glycemic index (GI) and load (GL) of two samples, one from each locality was determined. The results indicate that these honeys were rich in total sugars (77.28 g/100g DM) and in reducing sugars (71.21 g/100g DM). They contained calcium (12.85 mg/100g DM), magnesium (17.61 mg/100g DM) and phosphorus (13.47 mg/100g DM). On average, they had an ash content of 0.30 g/100g DM, a titratable acidity of 56.1 mEq/Kg with an acid pH equal to 3, polyphenol contents of 60.39 mg/100gDM and flavonoids of 5.83 mg/100g DM. Kouto honey (50.74) was lower GI food than Touba honey (57.20). Nevertheless, these two honeys carry high glycemic loads. Given their high sugar content, these honeys could be high-risk foods for overweight and diabetic populations.
