“…Another critical factor affecting the content of H 2 O 2 in honey can be presence of pollen-derived catalase, a plant enzyme responsible for degradation of H 2 O 2 . Interestingly, catalase has occasionally been reported in honey samples and the most proteomic studies have not been able to identify this enzyme in honey samples [27,28,29,30,31]. A more objective approach seems to be the identification of catalase in honey by determining its enzymatic activity [32].…”

Antibacterial Activity of Different Blossom Honeys: New Findings

Antibacterial activity is the most investigated biological property of honey. The goal of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of 57 Slovak blossom honeys against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and investigate the role of several bioactive substances in antibacterial action of honeys. Inhibitory and bactericidal activities of honeys were studied to determine the minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations. The contents of glucose oxidase (GOX) enzyme, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and total polyphenols (TP) were determined in honeys. We found that honey samples showed different antibacterial efficacy against the tested bacteria as follows: wildflower honeys > acacia honeys > rapeseed honeys. Overall antibacterial activity of the honeys was statistically-significantly correlated with the contents of H2O2 and TP in honeys. A strong correlation was found between the H2O2 and TP content. On the other hand, no correlation was found between the content of GOX and level of H2O2. Antibacterial activity of 12 selected honeys was markedly reduced by treatment with catalase, but it remained relatively stable after inactivation of GOX with proteinase-K digestion. Obtained results suggest that the antibacterial activity of blossom honeys is mainly mediated by H2O2 levels present in honeys which are affected mainly by polyphenolic substances and not directly by GOX content.

Myracrodruon urundeuva (Baroeira^) is a dioecious tree of the seasonally dry tropical forest (SDTF) of Brazil and source of a unique unifloral honey. To discriminate this honey by its pollen spectra, we compared melissopalynological analysis of reference honey samples with those of other samples collected in the SDTF belt. Reference honeys had on average 99% of aroeira pollen, while the other honey samples averaged 84% of this pollen. We used the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, applied here for the first time in honey analysis, for determining the cut-off value of at least 93% of Myracrodruon pollen in a sample for classifying unifloral aroeira honey. The over-representation of aroeira pollen in this honey reflects that honeybees visited ten times as many staminate flowers as pistillate flowers. We conclude that unifloral aroeira honey has uniform pollen spectra, as a byproduct of the preference of honeybees for staminate flowers.Myracrodruon urundeuva / receivers operating characteristic (ROC) curve / melissopalynology / Apis mellifera Corresponding author: C.
