Dataset on physicochemical properties, mineral contents and consumer preferences of honey from different geographical zones and botanical origins in Tanzania

This dataset provides four tables, two figures, two appendices, and their raw data (as supplementary material). Appendix 1 presents a summarized table for geographical zones, regions, botanic origin, and the number of samples collected. Table 1 presents the physicochemical properties of honey samples between zones for each botanic origin, and Table 2 presents the physicochemical properties of honey samples between botanic origins for each geographical origin. Both tables correspond to raw data (S 1). Table 3 presents the mineral contents of honey samples between geographical origins for each botanic origin and Table 4 presents the mineral contents of honey samples between botanic origins for each geographical zone. Both tables correspond to raw data (S 2). Figure 1 presents the multivariate variations of honey samples from different botanic and geographical origins according to their moisture, ash, mineral, and viscosity values and corresponds to raw data (S 1 and S 2). Appendix 2 presents the characteristics of the sensory consumer panel and corresponds to the raw data (S 3). Furthermore, Figure 2 (a and b) presents mean hedonic scores for honey samples between zones for each botanic origin (A) and between botanic origins for each zone (B), and it corresponds to raw data (S 4).
