Article Synopsis
- Citrus honey is a distinct monofloral honey with unique aroma and taste, and chemical analysis can help identify its geographical and botanical origins.
- The PRIMA project "PLANT-B" established a metabolomics workflow to investigate orange blossom honey from Egypt, Italy, and Greece, using advanced liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques.
- The study identified 40 potential chemical markers differentiating honeys by origin, revealing variations: Italian honey had more flavonoids, Greek honey featured terpenoids/iridoids, and Egyptian honey showed specific fatty acid markers, alongside new furan derivatives found in Greek samples.
