    Quantification of phenolics by LC-MS/MS of monofloral and polyfloral Honey: Evaluation of the greenness of the method with MoGAPI and MoGSA

    Gerçek, Yusuf Can; Baştürk, Fatma Nur; Özkök, Aslı; Cevahir Öz, Gül; Ecem Bayram, Nesrin

    This study evaluated the physicochemical properties, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), antioxidant activity, proanthocyanidin content, and polyphenolic profiles of monofloral and multifloral honey samples produced in Türkiye. In addition, the greenness of the analytical method was assessed using two different evaluation tools: MoGSA and MoGAPI. The TPC and TFC values for multifloral honeys ranged from 0.18–0.65 mg GAE/g and 0.01–0.09 mg QE/g, respectively, whereas for monofloral honeys, these values ranged from 0.16–0.98 mg GAE/g and 0.01–0.37 mg QE/g. The highest CUPRAC and DPPH values were observed in Erica spp. honey, consistent with its TFC and total individual polyphenolic compound results. Notably, the Erica spp. honey sample exhibited a significantly higher gallic acid content (26.13 µg/g) compared to the other samples. These findings suggest that Erica spp. honey characterized by its high TPC, antioxidant activity, and distinctive polyphenolic profile, may serve as a notable dietary source of antioxidants. Additionally, the MoGAPI and MoGSA scores of the method were determined to be 84 and 91.67, respectively, demonstrating its high environmental sustainability.

    This study aimed to obtain data on specific properties of various monofloral honey samples. Palynological, phenolic component, macroelemental and microelemental analyses were conducted and antimicrobial activities of honey samples were determined. In addition, protocatechuic acid for pine, lavender (from Isparta), heather (from Mugla) and cedar honey; gallic acid for carob, oak, lavender (from Antalya), chestnut, sandalwood and heather (from Antalya) honey; caffeic acid for linden, astragalus, chaste honey; syringic acid for rhododendron honey and the quercetin compound for cornelian cherry-citrus honey were observed to be dominant. As a result of the elemental analyses performed with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, it was determined that elemental profiles of all of the honey samples differed, and the total ratio of macrominerals sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium was the highest in the oak honey and the lowest in the cornelian cherry-citrus honey. According to antibacterial activity test results, Gram-negative bacteria were found to be more resistant to the honey samples compared to Gram-positive bacteria. In conclusion, the results of this study confirmed that the origin (blossom or honeydew) and plant source of the honey samples had an effect on their elemental content, phenolic component and antimicrobial activity.
