Background: Honey of stingless bees is used in traditional medicine; nevertheless, studies related to these honeys are scarce and are focused in physicochemical and microbiological properties. Objective: We studied thermal behavior of honeys produced by Trigona (Tetragonisca) angustula, collected from three different places (Durania, Villa Marina and Los Patios), using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Methods: We determined thermal behavior of honey samples (~10 mg), using a SDT-Q600, TA Instruments, simultaneous differential scanning calorimetry/thermogravimetric analysis (DSC/TGA). Results: T. angustula honeys exhibited four thermal transitions regardless sampling place. In addition, we found significant differences in the enthalpies of these transitions. Conclusion: Honey produced by T. angustula exhibited a characteristic thermal behavior, that will allow differentiate its geographical origin.
