“…Baloš et al [127] reported similar results for acacia, meadow, and sunflower honey water content (black locust ranging from 13.8% to 19.0%; meadow ranging from 14.0% to 19.0%, and sunflower ranging from 15.6% to 18.6%). Özenirler [128] reported water content as 14.5% in dandelion honey. Raspberry honey water content ranged from 17.5% to 20.4%, and for dandelion honey, water content values were between 17.0% and 24.9% [129].…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of antibiotic and pesticide residues on the physicochemical properties of unifloral and multifloral honey. The mineral elements content of honey was analyzed and correlated with antibiotic and pesticide residues, and a positive correlation was found between manganese and neonicotinoids. Potassium was found to be the most abundant mineral compound. Correlations were found between mineral content, color, and the content of antibiotic and pesticide residues of honey. In meadow honey, residues of antibiotics and pesticides were undetectable. In some of the other types of honey, the maximum residue limits regulated by European legislation were exceeded. Endosulfan residue was found in mint and rapeseed, honey with 0.42 and 5.14 ng/g, respectively. Neonicotinoids were found in 27% of the analyzed honey samples. Chloramphenicol was identified only in rapeseed honey, with concentrations ranging from 0.2 ng/g to 0.8 ng/g. Nitrofurans were found in 14%, and nitroimidazoles were found in 6% of the analyzed samples. According to EU legislation that is in force, the use of antibiotics in beekeeping is not allowed. The MRLs for neonicotinoids are 50 ng/g, and for coumaphos, the maximum limit is 100 ng/g. For the other pesticide residues, the maximum limit is 10 ng/g. The results of statistical analysis obtained using principal component analysis (PCA) showed a major difference in the levels of contamination of raspberry and meadow honey and the other types of honey.

Turkey has a wide variety of honey products and most of the honeys are endemic. There are many endemic honey samples in Anatolia that have not been investigated yet. Since natural honey has special benefits due to its many bioactive ingredients, it is still a challenge to classify and characterize different honey samples. In this study, an endemic and rare honey sample from the mountainous and almost uninhabited region of Tuzluca, Iğdır is reported. Honey sample is characterized by the means of antioxidant and antidiabetic capacities, nitrite and nitrate content, fructose/glucose ratio. Results indicate that the reported honey sample has unique characteristics.

This study was carried out to reveal the characteristic features of honey produced in the Kolludere Valley, which is located within the borders of the Hizan district of Bitlis province. This area is isolated as there are no seasonal migratory beekeepers. In 2022, a flora study was carried out in the area and 133 plant taxa belonging to 19 families from which bees receive nectar or pollen were identified. 23 of these taxa are endemic. Content analysis of honey samples taken from the study area was carried out. Proline value, which is an important parameter of honey quality, was determined as 809.41 mg kg-1, diastase number 28.9, HMF 2.9 mg kg-1, and sucrose 0.2 g/100g. All other parameters (humidity, acidity, pH, fructose+glucose, fructose/glucose, saccharose, maltose, electrical conductivity) were also met standart according to the values of the Food Codex Honey Communiqué and European Union Standards. In addition, pollen analysis of honey samples was made and the data were compared with the flora. In honey samples, pollen is generally minor or rare, and pollen of a dominant taxon was found in only one sample. For this reason, most of the honey produced in the Kolludere Valley was evaluated as flower honey.
