Beekeeping products, including flower honey, are widely used in hotel and restaurant complexes. In this article, we provide data on the chemical composition of flower honey used in hotel and restaurant complexes of the Bilotserkiv region. Samples of flower honey from different producers, which are used as a dessert in hotel and restaurant complexes of Bilotserkivsk region, were selected for the study. The first samples (№ 1) are floral honey used by hotel and restaurant complexes located in the center of the city of Bila Tserkva; the 2nd samples are floral honey served in hotel and restaurant complexes located on the outskirts of the city; the third samples are floral honey that used in hotel and restaurant complexes of Bilotserkiv district. Prepackaged honey samples were 50 g each. Our study aimed to determine the content, moisture, sugars, and mineral elements of flower honey from different producers. The analysis of the studied samples of honey was carried out using laboratory studies, which were carried out in the conditions of the scientific laboratory of the Department of Food Safety and Quality, Raw Materials, and Technological Processes of the Belotserkiv National Agrarian University. The research was conducted following the national standard of Ukraine SSTC 4497.2005 according to generally accepted methods. According to the results of the analysis of samples of flower honey, which is included in the diet of visitors to hotel and restaurant complexes of Bilotserkivsk region, it can be concluded that the moisture content of these samples ranges from 17 to 19 %, the glucose content from 33 to 39%, glucose 35–40 %, and maltose 0.3–1.1 %, which meets the requirements of SSTC 4497:2005. It was established that the lowest content of mineral elements was found in the first sample of flower honey. Therefore, the research results showed that the chemical composition of honey, included in the diet of visitors to hotel and restaurant complexes of Bilotserkivsk region, meets the requirements of the national state standard.
The article presents the results of research on the influence of mineral soil fertilization on the intensity of radiocesium, lead and cadmium accumulation in sunflower pollen (bee pollen) produced in the conditions of northern Polissia. Providing the population with highquality food products is one of the main social tasks of today. Pollen is a vegetable raw material from which bees produce bee honey, perga and royal jelly, which have highly nutritious and healing properties, so they are successfully used in population nutrition and prevention of a number of diseases. Practice shows that the demand for this product is growing rapidly because it is a source of amino acids, vitamins, minerals and other biologically active substances. In connection with the wide range of use of this product in food and medicine, there is a need to control its quality and safety, especially in modern conditions of man-made load on nectar-pollen-bearing lands due to the high level of chemicalization in the field of crop production. The purpose of the research was to study the accumulation of radiocesium, lead and cadmium in sunflower pollen under mineral fertilization of soils in the conditions of Northern Polissia. It was established that the highest content of radiocesium, lead and cadmium in flower pollen was observed when the soil was fertilized with ammonium nitrate. In particular, in sunflower pollen, the specific activity of radiocesium was higher by 43.8 %, 2.1 times and 67.7 % after soil fertilization with ammonium nitrate; accumulation coefficient by 41.1%, 2.1 times, 67.7 %; the hazard coefficient is 44.2 %, 2.1 times, 66.6 % compared to simple superphosphate, potassium chloride and a mixture of NPK fertilizers. The concentration indicators, the accumulation coefficient, the danger coefficient of lead in sunflower pollen for soil fertilization with ammonium nitrate were higher in comparison with simple superphosphate by 2.0 times, 2.0 and 2.1 times; potassium chloride – by 66.6 %, 1.6 times and 66.6 %; with a mixture of NPK fertilizers – by 76.4 %, 77.7 % and 78.5 %. The concentration, accumulation coefficient, hazard coefficient of cadmium in sunflower pollen were higher when fertilized with ammonium nitrate in comparison with simple superphosphate by 2.2 times, 2.1 and 2.2 times, potassium chloride by 66.6 %, 68.4 %, 65 %; with a mixture of NPK fertilizers – 2.0 times, 2.0 and 2.0 times. Key words: radiocesium, heavy metals, lead, cadmium, mineral fertilizers, soil, sunflower, flower pollen, accumulation coefficient, hazard coefficient, concentration.
