Honey production in our country has increased compared to the last decade. East Kazakhstan, Almaty and South Kazakhstan regions are the main producers of honey. The floral diversity of our country makes it possible to obtain many types of monofloral honey and several combinations of polyfloral honey. Floral origin is one of the most important factors influencing the honey market. Monofloral honey is more popular among consumers due to its taste, special characteristics and is more profitable for producers due to its high price. Darker honey (buckwheat honey) usually contains high amounts of antioxidants, which increase its health potential. Food control is a major factor for consumers who want to know that their purchases are of high quality. To ensure that the actual composition of the products indicated on the label, analysis and development of effective methods of analysis is necessary. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify biomarkers of buckwheat honey by vacuum solid phase microextraction (vac-SPME) in combination with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
