Phytochemical Profiling and Characterization of Honeydew, Cantaloupe, and Galia Melon Peel Extracts for Potential Prebiotic Activities. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrBioactive compounds are recovered from Honeydew, Cantaloupe, and Galia melon peels through aqueous and ethanolic extraction followed by freeze‐drying. The resulting extracts undergo comprehensive characterization using HPLC, FTIR, and NMR spectroscopy to define their chemical profiles.

Towards an attract-and-reward strategy: evaluating nectar resources and HIPVs under laboratory conditions to enhance Aphelinus mali parasitism activity, a key parasitoid of Eriosoma lanigerum. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciEuphorbia segetalis is a promising attractant insectary plant for Aphelinus mali. Meanwhile, Vicia faba and Vicia sativa are a promising nectar resource to sustain the parasitoid in early spring when the population of Eriosoma lanigerum is low, and honeydew is scarce.

Antioxidant activity and phenolic profile of selected organic and conventional honeys from Poland [PDF]
, 2020 Honey is a natural food product hypothesized to have significant health-beneficial value. The results of recent studies indicate that the biological activity of honey can also be ascribed to phenolic compounds and their antioxidant activity.

Forestry alters foraging efficiency and crop contents of aphid-tending red wood ants, Formica aquilonia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Forest management alters species behaviours, distributions and interactions. To evaluate forestry effects on ant foraging performance, we compared the quality and quantity of honeydew harvested by ants among clear-cuts, middle-aged and mature spruce ...

Prediction of Honeydew Contaminations on Cotton Samples by In-Line UV Hyperspectral Imaging
Sensors, 2022 UV hyperspectral imaging (225 nm–410 nm) was used to identify and quantify the honeydew content of real cotton samples. Honeydew contamination causes losses of millions of dollars annually.

Honeydew Is a Food Source and a Contact Kairomone for Aphelinus mali
Insects, 2023 Many parasitoids need to feed on sugar sources at the adult stage. Although nectar has been proven to be a source of higher nutritional quality compared to honeydew excreted by phloem feeders, the latter can provide the necessary carbohydrates for ...
