“…Також одним із чинників, який впливає на тривалість зберігання меду, є його рН. За даними досліджень (Bashchenko et al, 2016;Saranchuk et al, 2021;Merzlov et al, 2021), встановлено, що завдяки утворенню в медах кислого середовища, яке отримують за розщеплення глюкози ензимом глюкогеназою (секрет глоткових залоз бджіл), отримано ефективний засіб консервації меду.…”

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.

Natural honey is a source of vital amino acids, easily digestible carbohydrates, macro, microelements, biologically active substances that determine nutritional, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. In the conditions of man-caused pollution of Polissya of Ukraine due to the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, systematic control of the quality and safety of beekeeping products is important. To conduct such research, we created a group of twelve bee families - analogs of the Ukrainian breed, medium strength. Families were kept in unified multifunctional hives. At the beginning of the honey harvest, the bee families were transported to the sunflower fields, where they stayed during the blossoming of the plants. The density of radioactive contamination of 137Cs soils where sunflower was grown was 47.0 kBq / m2. We used organoleptic, physicochemical, microscopic, microbiological, and radiological methods in the study. According to standard methods, we studied the species composition of pollen grains, physicochemical parameters of centrifugal, honeycomb, and «zabrus» sunflower honey.(zabrus honey was obtained from wax caps, which we cut with an apiary knife from honeycombs filled with nectar and sealed by bees). The content of lead (Pb) in honey from sunflower obtained in the conditions of Polissya is 1.8 - 2.1 times higher than the State sanitary norms. The largest amount of it is in the centrifugal honey. In acceptable amounts, the heavy metals cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), and 137Cs were present in honey. Pesticides, dichlorodiphenyltrichloromethylmethane, and hexachlorane were not detected in the samples. We investigated the bactericidal action against bacterial growth of typical cultures of Proteus vulgaris, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus. Zubrus sunflower honey showed the highest antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. We found that the value of antioxidant activity (AOA) of sunflower honey depends on the method of its production, duration of storage, and solutions of extracts (alcohol, aqueous) used in research. Laboratory control of transgenic organisms in flowers and sunflower pollen did not reveal the target sequences of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter and the NOS terminator (nopaline synthase) of the plasmid Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

Modern beekeeping industry globalization leads to an increase in competition between countries for the foreign market. The products that provide the appropriate level of safety and quality following international requirements would be able to gain a competitive advantage. Establishing a competitive advantage for honey on the world market and improving exports/import process with the guaranteed observance of consumers’ rights and interests require a systematic revision of regulatory documentation for beekeeping products. The study aimed to analyze the current international and national regulations governing the safety and quality of honey. Critical analysis of normative documentation, a comparison of international, European, and Ukrainian requirements for physicochemical indicators of honey quality and content of dangerous contaminants, as well as the study of the organic beekeeping regulation was made. It was found that the national regulatory framework for the safety and quality of honey needs to be optimized. Order of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food (Ukraine) of June 19, 2019, № 330 contains requirements that are more adapted to international and European standards for honey quality criteria compared to current national requirements. Order of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food (Ukraine) of June 19, 2019, № 330 still needs to be improved for items governing the value of moisture content and mineral content as well as diastasis activity of honey components. Concerning the production of organic beekeeping products, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine introduced the current EU regulatory framework for organic beekeeping.
