“…Multiple elements including trace elements were also analyzed as potential parameters for distinguishing the origin of chicken samples since site-specific features can be provided (Franke et al, 2007;Furia, Naccarat, Sindona, Stabile, & Tagarelli, 2011;Pilgrim et al, 2010;Santato, Bertoldi, Perini, Camin, & Larcher, 2012). Meanwhile, the concentration of multiple elements is an indicator of the elemental composition of feed (Brunner, Katona, Stefánka, & Prohaska, 2010;Pisani, Protano, & Riccobono, 2008). Among these four locations, the soil samples from SX, JX, and FJ possessed the highest content of Cu, K, and Zn, respectively (Wei, Zhang, Chen, & Wu, 1991).…”

The establishment of appropriate analytical methods to authenticate the geographic origin of poultry meat independent of paper record becomes especially important nowadays. In this study, data were analyzed in terms of both the contents of two stable isotopes (C and N) and 12 mineral elements of chicken samples from four provinces to trace their geographical origin. The results showed that classification of chicken was improved by combining both types of data, as compared to that using the mineral element data alone. The present study demonstrates that it is possible to indicate the poultry origin by applying stable isotope and multi-element analysis, which is an effective tool to trace the geographic origin of poultry.Keywords: stable isotope; multi-element; geographic origin; chicken Hoy en día es muy importante el establecimiento de métodos analíticos apropiados para autentificar el origen geográfico de la carne de ave de forma independiente a los estudios publicados. En este estudio, se analizaron los datos según el contenido de 2 isótopos estables (C y N) y 12 elementos minerales de muestras de pollo de 4 provincias para trazar su origen geográfico. Los resultados mostraron que la clasificación del pollo fue mejorada mediante la combinación de los dos tipos de datos, en comparación con la utilización única de elemento mineral. El presente estudio demuestra que es posible indicar el origen de las aves mediante la aplicación del análisis de isótopos estables y multielemento, el cual es una herramienta efectiva para trazar el origen geográfico de las aves.

“…Several studies suggest that honey can be used as a bioindicator for the environmental pollution caused by anthropogenic activities (Sanz et al, 1995;Latorre et al, 1999;González Paramás et al, 2000;Golob et al, 2005;Pisani et al, 2008). However, studies using honey as a bioindicator of environmental pollution that relate anthropogenic activities and volcanic eruptions to the concentration of As have not been completed thus far.…”

“…The general characteristics and fundamental composition of honey depend on its botanical and geographical origin (Fredes and Montenegro, 2006;Pisani et al, 2008). An important aspect of the quality of honey is the presence of metals, which is directly related to the chemical composition of the soils in areas where bees forage.…”

The content of heavy metals in honey is indicative of natural or anthropogenic pollution and has therefore been proposed as a feasible bioindicator for arsenic contamination in different regions of Chile. Total arsenic (t-As) and inorganic As (i-As) concentrations were determined in 227 samples of honey harvested during the years 2007, 2008, and 2009 in the areas of San Pedro de Atacama, Atacama, Chiloé, and Futaleufú, with the last town located 156 km from the Chaitén Volcano (latest eruption in 2008). These analyses were conducted using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer coupled with a hydride generator. In the honey samples, the concentrations of t-As ranged from 2.2 to 171.9 µg kg -1 , and the i-As concentrations ranged from none detected (ND) to 24.6 µg kg -1 , with the area of San Pedro de Atacama having the highest As concentrations. The samples of honey from Futaleufú showed higher As concentrations after the eruption of the Chaitén Volcano in 2008. This study demonstrates that As pollution in honey may originate from both natural and anthropogenic sources. The results indicate that it is appropriate to use honey as a bioindicator of environmental pollution. In addition, the consumption of the honey studied herein does not pose any health hazards to the consumer due to its As content.

Beside some quality parameters, forty four elements were determined by ICP-OES in 19 honey samples from different places of Hungary, in this study. These samples have different botanical origin. Acacia (Robinia pseudo-acacia), linden (Tilia sp.), rape (Brassica sp.), coriander (Coriandrum sativum), cherry (Prunus cerasus), lavender (Lavendula angustifoia) and multifloral honey. Ca, K, S, P, Mg and Na were the most abundant elements (896; 556; 60,5, 48,2; 31,5; 31,1 mg/kg, respectively). The B, Fe and Se content generally ranged from 2 to 8 mg/kg. In addition, we determined the electrical conductivity, -which is closely connected with element-, sugar-and moisture content.
