“…Chrysin content ranged in the analysed samples between 0.01-0.53 mg/100 g; the average was 0.06 mg/100 g (Table 4). Similar values were determined in Australian floral honey (Yao et al 2004) (0.00-0.38 mg/100 g) or salvia honey originating in Croatia (Kenjerić et al 2008) (0.03-0.25 mg/100 g). High amounts of chrysin were determined in forest honey (0.11 mg/100 g) and low ones in honeydew honey (0.03 mg/100 g) (Table 5).…”

“…36), the average value being 0.66 mg QE/100 g honey. The measured values are lower than the results found in Burkina Faso honey (Meda et al 2005) or sage unifloral honey (Kenjerić et al 2008); the cause may be the different natural conditions in the Czech Republic and the method based on the reaction of analytes with sodium nitrite, which is generally used, but has not yet been used for honey samples. The most similar to the Czech honey was Italian honey (Blasa et al 2006) that ranged from 0.45 mg QE/100 g to 1.01 mg QE/100 g, and the most different South African honey (Meda et al 2005) with high values of 0.17-7.13 mg QE/100 g. TF also varied in the honey samples from different locations of the Czech Republic.…”

Lachman J., Hejtmánková A., Sýkora J., Karban J., Orsák M., Rygerová B. (2010): Contents of major phenolic and flavonoid antioxidants in selected Czech honey. Czech J. Food Sci., 28: 412-426.The chemical constitution of antioxidants contained in honey is derived from its origin. Forty honey samples (harvest 2006), which came from various locations of the Czech Republic and varied in their origins, were evaluated spectrophotometrically for their total polyphenol content, total flavonoids and 3',4'-dihydroxyflavones and flavonols, and major antioxidants were identified by HPLC-DAD and GC-MS. The kind of honey, location, and date of the honey harvest were shown to have a significant effect on the contents of phenolic antioxidants (average content 11.02 mg gallic acid equivalents/100 g), total flavonoids (0.66 mg quercetin equivalents/100 g), and 3',4'-dihydroxyflavones and flavonols (4.32 µg quercetin equivalents/100 g). In the Czech honey, ferulic acid (0.11 mg/100 g) and chrysin (0.06 mg/100 g) and other minority phenolics and flavonoids were identified and quantified as honey phenolic antioxidants contained. The results obtained support and extend complete knowledge on the contents of bioactive phenolics in the Czech honey, which could serve as a good source of natural antioxidants effective in reducing the risk of the occurrence of heart disease, cancer, cataracts, different inflammatory processes and immuno-system decline.

“…Total antioxidant activity of sage honey measured with the FRAP assay ran- ged from 1.0 to 4.5 mmol Fe 2+ /kg, while antiradical activity measured with the DPPH assay ranged from 0.2 to 0.9 mmol TEAC/kg (Table 3). The study of the Salvia officinalis honeys chromatograms, besides HMF and lumichrome, allowed to detect traces of benzoic acid as reported by Jerković , Mastelić , &Marijanović , 2006 andVorwohl, 2007. In contrast to what was found by other authors (Kenjerić , Mandić , Primorac, & Č ačić , 2008) abscisic acid, caffeic acid and p-coumaric acid were not detected.…”

“…And these two phenolic compounds were seen as the major compound in honey samples of Melipona subnitida; Melipona scutellaris and Melipona q. anthidioides, (Table 2). Abscisic acid is also a plant hormone involved in physiological regulation and according to Kenjeric et al (2008) can be found in varying amounts in honey samples.…”

Screening for quality indicators and phenolic compounds of biotechnological interest in honey samples from six species of stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Honey from stingless bees of the genus Melipona is a well sought product. Nevertheless lack of legal frameworks for quality assessment complicates the evaluation of food safety and marketing of these products. Seeking to assess the quality of honey from the bees of this genus, physical and chemical analyses, identification of phenolic compounds, and microbiological evaluation from six species of stingless bees was performed. The honey samples showed high reducing sugars, low protein levels and a balanced microbiota. High total phenols and flavonoids and higher antioxidant activity were also recorded. Different phenolic compounds of great biotechnological potential were identified and of these apigenin, kaempferol and luteolin were identified for the first time in honey. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the few works describing a detail characterization of melipona honey together with identification of the phenolic compounds of significant therapeutic value.Keywords: honey; chromatography; flavonoids; phenols; antioxidants; stingless bees; pollen types.Practical Application: This is one of the few works that describe the characterization of honey from seven species of stingless bees together detailing the identification of phenolic compounds of significant therapeutic value, which can serve as an important reference for future studies.
