“…The honey from agricultural area shows the highest value (0.46 mg/kg), while from forest area shows the lowest value (0.13 mg/kg). The obtained values of essential minerals (Ca, Cr, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ag and Zn) were more or less similar to values obtained by [16] Nanda et al, (2003) from North India, [17] Cantarelli et al, (2008) from Turkey, [18] Juliana et al, (2009) from Central ~ 300 ~ Bulgaria, [19] Adams et al, (2010) from Ibadan, [3] Mbiri et al, (2011) from Kenya, [20] Vincevica-Gaile et al, (2012) from Latvia, [21] Liberato et al, (2012) from Ceará State, Northeastern Brazil, [22] Maiyo et al, (2014) Kenya, [23] Conti et al, (2014) from Argentina, [24] Waykar and Baviskar (2015) from Maharashtra India, [25] Trstenjak et al, (2017) from Croatia and [26] Boussaid et al, (2018) from Tunisia. The mean values of Arsenic in honey harvested from different locations of Kannad taluka were within the range of 0.0008-0.20 mg/kg.…”

The concentrations of eight essential minerals Ca, Cr, Co Cu, Fe, Mn, Ag, Zn and five toxic trace metals As, Cd, Pb, Hg and Ni were determined in blended raw honey, soil, leaf and flowers harvested from different locations of Kannad taluka. Result reveals that all honey samples from agricultural and road side area was contaminated with toxic trace metals. The honey samples harvested from forest area have no or lower concentrations of toxic trace metals than the permissible limits set by Indian standards (2010). The concentrations of these metals in honey samples investigated do not pose any serious concern to human health except honey harvested from road side area. Hence, the honey produced from Kannad taluka can be considered nutritionally safe and represents good quality. The present data also indicate that the levels of toxic trace metals in honey are comparatively more in roadway area than agricultural and forest areas. The essential minerals in soil, leaf and flower samples comparatively more in agricultural area than roadway and forest areas. The toxic trace metals are more in roadway sides than agricultural and forest areas.
