“…Among these tested samples, those from Shanxi province possessed elevated levels of agnuside, 4-(β- d -glucosyloxy) benzoic acid, and 1-(4-hydroxybenzoyl) glucose. Previous studies documented that the collection year did not impact the phenolic composition of honey, while geographical origin could greatly influence the levels of specific chemical markers. , Besides the above factors, the profile of characteristic compounds depended on weather conditions and bee colony feeding mode . Therefore, it is necessary to explore the primary factors affecting the levels of characteristic compounds in chaste honey in the future.…”

Identification of chemical markers is important to ensure the authenticity of monofloral honey; however, the formation of chemical markers in honey has received little attention. Herein, using comparative metabolomics, we first identified chemical markers in chaste honey and then explored their formation and accumulation from nectar to mature honey. We identified agnuside and p-hydroxybenzoic acid glucosides as chemical markers for chaste honey. Besides, we developed an UHPLC−MS/MS method for quantifying these markers and found that their levels varied significantly across sample sources. We compared the presence of these compounds in chaste nectar and mature honey. The outcomes underscore that these characteristic compounds are not simply delivered from nectar to mature honey, and activities of honeybees (collecting and processing) play a pivotal role in their formation and accumulation. These observations shed light on how mature honey can form its unique qualities with a rich assortment of natural bioactive compounds, potentially supporting health benefits.

“…Our results confi rm that linden honey increases the antioxidant activity and can protect from oxidative stress. Also, the latest results confi rmed that linden honey is a source of numerous vitamins, minerals, organic and inorganic acids [34]. For example, Farkas et al [34] showed that linden honey samples displayed signifi cantly higher levels of caffeic, chlorogenic, ferulic and p-coumaric acids compared to acacia and goldenrod honeys.…”

Linden honey represents a unique honey variety valued for its nutritional benefits, distinctive taste and aroma. Phenols, polyphenols, flavonoids, ascorbic acid and phenolic acids in honey have antioxidant activities. This study aimed to investigate the effects of linden honey on the activities of antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), as well as on the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) in individually housed animals. The investigated parameters were quantified using spectrophotometric method for determination of enzyme activities and MDA concentration in the blood. We found that treatment with linden honey in the socially isolated animals significantly increased the enzyme activities of CAT and GPx, and significantly decreased the concentration of MDA. The modulation of CAT and GPx activities in socially isolated animals treated with linden honey may be very important for understanding the role of honey in the capacity of antioxidant defense system to increase and maintain its stability in psychosocial stress conditions. Our results may be important in biomedical research for understanding the role of honey in the amelioration of oxidative stress.

“…Of these four western Australian honeys, some of the phenolic compounds, which were identified and quantified, were as follows: t-Cinnamic acid, Eudesmic acid, m-Coumaric acid, Kojic acid, Lumichrome, Gallic acid, Taxifolin, Syringic acid, and Protocatechuic acid [ 12 ]. Similarly to the study by Lawag, et al, Farkas, et al conducted a study to determine the phenolic content within four Hungarian varieties of honey— Robinia pseudoacacia , Asclepias syriaca , Tilia spp., and Solidago gigantea –that have, not by their record, been analyzed or evaluated in studies past attempting to categorize the phenolic make-up of honeys as a form of identifier or fingerprint [ 13 ]. Of these four Hungarian honeys, some of the phenolic compounds are as follows: Syringic acid, Taxifolin, Vanillic acid, p-Coumaric acid, Gentistic acid, Chrysin, Galagin, Caffeic acid, and Hesperetin [ 13 ].…”

As illustrated by the completed works of Lawag, et al and Farkas, et al, honey, regardless of the geographical origin, is diversely rich in antioxidant, bioactive phenolic compounds—chiefly, both works of honey evaluation revealed matching phenolic constituents, despite being both miles separated and different in botanical origin; namely, Syringic Acid and Taxifolin [ 12 , 13 ].…”

Honey as a Natural Nutraceutical: Its Combinational Therapeutic Strategies Applicable to Blood Infections—Septicemia, HIV, SARS-CoV-2, Malaria

Honey is a natural substance that has existed alongside humanity since the time of antiquity, acting then as a source of nutrition, as well as a source of medicinal aid for people. Ancient civilizations from multiple nations of the world, from ancient China to ancient Greece and Egypt, utilized the supposed healing properties of honey to treat lacerations and wounds, as well as for internal pathologies such as intestinal disease. At present, honey has entered the modern scientific research program in search of novel antibiotics. In recent research, honey has demonstrated its potential use for static and/or cidal effects on microbial strains which are becoming resistant to chemical antibiotics. Additionally, the use of honey as an agent of treatment for more severe infections, namely blood infections pertaining to septicemia, HIV, and SARS-CoV-2, as well as parasitic infections such as malaria, have also been investigated in recent years. In this article, the literature has been reviewed on some of the therapeutic properties of natural nutraceutical honey, where it has been observed to act as a potential ameliorating agent; reducing the severity of such conditions that may amplify a disease, as well as reducing the progression of the disease and its symptoms.
