Phenolic acids in Australian Melaleuca, Guioa, Lophostemon, Banksia and Helianthus honeys and their potential for floral authentication

Abstract: Eight phenolic acids and two abscisic acid isomers in Australian honeys from five botanical species (Melaleuca, Guioa, Lophostemon, Banksia and Helianthus) have been analyzed in relation to their botanical origins. Total phenolic acids present in these honeys range from 2.13 mg/100 g sunflower (Helianthus annuus) honey to 12.11 mg/100 g tea tree (Melaleuca quinquenervia) honey, with amounts of individual acids being various. Tea tree honey shows a phenolic profile of gallic, ellagic, chlorogenic and coumaric a… Show more

“…In addition to benzoic, phenylacetic and β-phenyllactic acid (Speer and Montag, 1984;Steeg and Montag, 1988b;Dimitrova et al, 2007) ellagic acid and abscisic acid were also described as indicators for heather honey (Soler et al, 1995;Ferreres et al, 1996). Both of the phenolic acids, gallic and abscisic acid, were proposed as marker substances in eucalyptus honey (Yao et al, 2003(Yao et al, , 2004b(Yao et al, , 2005. In the group of flavonoids the flavanone hesperetin was identified by HPLC with diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) as a marker for citrus honey , and kaempferol was analysed for rosemary honey .…”

“…The antioxidant capacity of honey depends on the floral source used by the bees to collect the nectar as well as seasonal and environmental factors (Al-Mamary, Al-Meeri, & Al-Habori, 2002;Frankel et al, 1998;Gheldof, Xiao-Hong, & Engeseth, 2002;Yao et al, 2003). In addition to this, the identification of these compounds, due to their bioactive character, would give the honey an added value as a functional food due to the known beneficial properties (Yao, Jiang, Singanusong, Datta, & Raymont, 2005;Iurlina et al, 2009).…”

“…1 Apart from their beneficial properties in food which has conferred on them a relevant role as nutraceuticals, 2 polyphenols are chemotaxonomic markers due to their specificity and ubiquity, and they have proven to be chemical markers for food authentication. [3][4][5] Flavonoids exhibit a huge variety of structures in nature, being usually present as O-and/or C-glycosides. An interesting group is composed of C-glycosides, which are common in flowering plants and can be found at appreciable concentration levels in certain species of several families (i.e.…”
