“…Mg (21.8-61.43 mg/kg) and Na (22.22-29.69 mg/kg) were the second and the third most common minerals in honey samples, which is similar to what has been reported for Italian (Conti et al 2007), Romanian (Oroian et al 2015) and Croatian honey (Uršulin-Trstenjak et al 2015). The levels of all other examined minerals were comparable with previously reported studies (Bratu & Georgescu 2005;Conti et al 2007;Pohl & Prusisz 2007;Uršulin-Trstenjak et al 2015).…”

Alibabić V., Oraščanin M., Vahčić N. (2017): Geographical origin of honey from eight sub-regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Czech J. Food Sci., 35: 488-495.Principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) were used to define the geographical origin of three types of monofloral (chestnut, linden, and acacia), two types of multifloral (meadow and mixed), and forest honey produced over two consecutive harvest seasons in the Una-Sana Canton (Bosnia and Herzegovina), which is geographically divided into eight sub-regions. Statistical analysis was applied to the measurement of physico-chemical and sensory parameters, as well as micro-and macronutrient (K, Na, Mg, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Al) content, along with some heavy metals (Cd, Pb, and As). Using the PCA method the characteristic parameters for all eight sub-regions were determined, while the CA grouping method was used to determine the characteristic parameters for six sub-regions.

“…These findings indicate that in the honeys with light colors considerably lower contents of organic acids are present in comparison with dark honeys. Nevertheless, it was highlighted that the content of organic and amino acids, on which the acidity is dependent, are contingent on the botanical origin of honey [23,24]. In our investigated samples the acidity ranged from 12 to 114 meq/kg.…”

Correlation Study of Honey Regarding their Physicochemical Properties and Sugars and Cyclitols Content

Honey is a natural sweetener, with an osmotic effect on microorganisms due to the increased sugar content and low amount of water. Cyclitols are minor constituents of honey. They play a defensive role in plants against unfavorable environmental conditions. Honey's physicochemical properties can vary, resulting in a wide range of colors, flavors, scents, antioxidant activity, dissimilar values of pH, acidity, electrical conductivity, etc. Some literature regarding correlation between honey types is already available, but a comprehensive study displaying an ample evaluation of multifarious aspects is still needed. This study focuses on the correlation between 18 honey types, originating from 10 countries, collected during four years, summarizing a total of 38 samples. A total of 6 physicochemical properties and 18 target components (sugars and cyclitols) were considered as variables. A correlation analysis is presented between the investigated parameters and between honey types, together with the statistical analysis which allowed for observation of the clusters' distribution according with the investigated variables.
