Sumario: Honey is a very complex biological product, whose physico-chemical and organoleptic composition varies considerably depending on the flora visited and the climatic conditions. Due to the fact that in Ecuador there are few studies about commercial bee honey associated with its physical, chemical and microbiological properties, it is important to make known these data to guarantee the quality of this product and to be able to explain the different mechanisms of action of phenolic compounds, phenolic acids, flavonoids within each of the aforementioned properties. The general objective of the present work is to determine the statistical relationship of the chemical, physical and microbiological properties of three commercial honey samples (Apis mellifera L.), distributed in supermarkets of the Metropolitan District of Quito. Three brands of coded commercial honeys were used for the analysis, for each of the tests carried out; already established methodologies were carried out. For the statistical results, the software InfoStat "version 2008" and Community Analysis Package "version 1.52" were applied. We performed ANOVA, where p values <0.01 were obtained, which determined high significance for the analyzed variables, Pearson's correlations and finally an analysis of PCA main components in which some groups of physical, chemical and microbiological properties were observed Of variability. Determining that some properties show high coefficients of relationship with the analyzed variables are consequently part of the majority of biochemical and enzymatic reactions that condition certain biological properties attributed to the bee honey.
