A Comparative Study of Metal Content in Selected Polish and Romanian Honey Samples

Abstract: The aim of the study was to compare the heavy metal contamination and study the mineral content of Polish and Romanian honeys. We used Polish varietal honeys (n=18) produced in the year 2013-2014 in ecologically clean Podkarpackie region, and Romanian honeys (n=36) from Bihor district produced in 2013. The heavy metals concentration as well as mineral composition of honey was assayed by ICP-OES method with prior microwave mineralization. The cadmium and lead level in tested Polish honeys ranged from 0.007 to 0… Show more

“…On the other hand, Roman (2010) determined that the Pb content of honey samples obtained from settlements was higher than the values obtained from agriculture and forest areas (P<0.05). The Pb value (0.073-0.118 mg/kg) obtained in our study was similar to the value (0.02-0.098 mg/kg) determined by Purcarea et al (2017) in Polish honeys.…”

“…Another multivariate method used to classify honey and compare similarities between them based on chemical composition is cluster analysis (CA). In our previous studies, this method was used to find similarities between analyzed groups of honey products (nectar honey, commercial herb honeys, creamed multifloral honey with herb addition and natural herbal honey) based on the average value of antioxidant activity [ 43 , 50 ]. Cluster analysis by the Ward’s method of linkage and Euclidean distance was drawn based on the average value of studied parameters.…”
