Assessment of the botanical origin of Saudi Arabian honey samples to identify pollen with chromatographic tools and packing and storage

This study uses HPLC to extract phenolic compounds, revealing dominant protocatechuic acid (4.71 mg g-1), and GC-MS to analyze organic compounds in honey pollen. Specifically, 2-dodecanone was detected with a retention time of 7.34 min. The utilization of chromatographic tools in assessing honey samples for pollen identification provides a reliable and efficient method for determining their botanical origins, thereby contributing to the quality control and authentication of honey products.PMID:38599336 | DOI:10.1002/bmc.5869
