New Phytologist, Volume 240, Issue 3, Page 1305-1326, November 2023., 2023 Summary Pollen and tracheophyte spores are ubiquitous environmental indicators at local and global scales. Palynology is typically performed manually by microscopic analysis; a specialised and time‐consuming task limited in taxonomical precision and sampling frequency, therefore restricting data quality used to inform climate change and pollen ...

Mint (Mentha spp.) Honey: Analysis of the Phenolic Profile and Antioxidant Activity
Food Technology and Biotechnology, 2022 Research background. The composition of honey is influenced by the botanical source and geographical area of the nectar from which it is derived. Unifloral honeys reach higher market value than multifloral honeys due to their specific aromas, which ...

Palaeontology, Volume 66, Issue 6, November/December 2023., 2023 Abstract Sporomorphs (pollen and spores) are a mainstay of research into past vegetation, and increasingly sporomorph chemistry is being used as a palaeoecological tool. To make extant sporomorphs directly comparable to fossil specimens, fresh material is processed to remove labile compounds and isolate the sporopollenin wall.

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Honey is one of the important food commodities due to its nutritional and medicinal values. However, the issue of its quality and authenticity remain as important factors in consumption and marketing. This study was aimed at determining the botanical sources and quality parameters of honey samples collected from different areas of Ethiopia.

Semi‐Quantitative Discrimination of Honey Adulterated with Cane Sugar Solution by an ETongue
Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 19, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022 Abstract This study successfully applied a potentiometric E‐tongue with 20 cross‐selectivity lipidic polymeric membranes in the discrimination of three semi‐quantitative groups, that represented the following intervals of honey adulteration percentage with cane sugar: 0 %; [0, 10]%; [10, 20]% of adulteration.

Harmonized methods of melissopalynology [PDF]
Apidologie, 2004 Pollen analysis of honey, or melissopalynol-ogy, is of great importance for quality control.Honey always includes numerous pollen grains(mainly from the plant species foraged by honeybees) and honeydew elem ents (like wax tubes,algae and fungal spores) that altogether providea good fingerprint of th e environment where thehoney comes from.

Melissopalynological Characterization of North Algerian Honeys [PDF]
Foods, 2013 A pollen analysis of Algerian honey was conducted on a total of 10 honey samples. The samples were prepared using the methodology described by Louveaux et al., that was then further adapted by Ohe et al. The samples were subsequently observed using light microscopy. A total of 36 pollen taxa were discovered and could be identified in the analyzed honey

Pollen DNA metabarcoding identifies regional provenance and high plant diversity in Australian honey
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 13, Page 8683-8698, July 2021., 2021 We used pollen DNA metabarcoding to identify the botanical content of 15 honey samples from six Australian biogeographical regions. We sequenced ITS2 and trnL P6 loop, which in combination identified 55 plant families, 67 genera, and 43 species. The trnL marker was able to differentiate between eastern and western Australian honeys and cluster samples ...
