Physico-Chemical and Melissopalynological Characterization of Czech Honey [PDF]

Applied Sciences, 2021
Geographical and botanical origin of honeys can be characterized on the basis of physico-chemical composition, sensory properties and on the basis of melissopalynological analysis. No comprehensive description of the characteristics of Czech honey has been published so far. This study provides insights that are important for correct classification. The

History of melissopalynological methods

Communications Faculty of Science University of Ankara Series C Biology Geological Engineering and Geophysical Engineering, 2018
Melissopalynology is a branch of palynology, that gives foreknowledge about the botanical and the geographical source of honey. Honey always contains various pollen grains and also honeydew elements (algae, fungal spores etc.) and these give information about the environment that honey comes from.
