“…Macro-(Ca, K, Mg), micro-(Cu, Fe, Mn, Se) and trace elements (Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb) from FJ plant and honey samples were determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAnalyst 800 Atomic Absorption Spectrometer; PerkinElmer, Inc., Shelton, CT, USA) with atomization in the THGA graphite furnace. The method used was according to the protocol described by Pas , ca et al (2017) and Socaciu et al (2023) for plants [99,100] and Pas , ca et al (2021) for honey [101].…”

Fallopia japonica (Japanese knotweed, Reynoutria japonica or Polygonum cuspidatum) is considered an extremely invasive plant worldwide and a bioindicator of heavy metals. Yet, its potential as a crop for honeybees is still underevaluated. This study employs atomic absorption spectrometry to quantitatively analyze the concentration of macro-elements, namely, calcium (Ca), potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg); micro-elements, such as copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and selenium (Se); and trace elements, i.e., cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni) and lead (Pb) in different anatomic parts of Fallopia japonica (FJ) plants (roots, rhizomes, stems, leaves) and their traceability into honey. This research encompasses a thorough examination of samples collected from the northwestern and western part of Romania, providing insights into their elemental composition. The results showed that the level of trace elements decreases in terms of traceability in honey samples (Pb was not detected in any of the analyzed samples, while Cd had a minimum content 0.001 mg/kg), ensuring its quality and health safety for consumption. Moreover, the data generated can function as a valuable resource to explore the plant’s positive eco-friendly impacts, particularly in relation to its honey.
