Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied 53 honey samples from Spain, which included different types of honey like floral and honeydew.
- They looked at things like acidity, chemical properties, and how well the honey can fight off harmful substances.
- The results showed that the types and amounts of amino acids in the honey are important for how well it can protect against those bad substances, even more than the polyphenols, which are also good for health.
Article Synopsis
- * They tested 54 types of honey, including floral, honeydew, and blends, and found that most amino acids decreased over time, especially in the first 9 months.
- * Some amino acids actually increased in the first few months, and they discovered that certain amino acids could help tell where the honey came from about 87% of the time.
Fast protein liquid chromatography on a Superdex 75 HR column has been applied to analyze the proteins of 29 honeys, 12 of floral origin and 17 from honeydew. The molecular masses were comprised between 13100 and 94000 Da. Seven peaks have been separated; four of them were present in all of the honeys, and three were only present in some honeys.

The honeys were collected in a small geographic area of approximately 2000 km(2) in central Spain. Twenty-seven honey samples were classified as floral and 19 as honeydew according to their palynological and physicochemical analyses.

The conditions selected were as follows: 10 mM HHL concentration in 0.2 M potassium phosphate buffer and 0.
