Overview

Comparative metabolomics analysis reveals distinct geographic chemical markers in Mediterranean orange blossom honey, indicating potential botanical and regional fingerprinting applications.

Key Points

To establish a metabolomics workflow for identifying chemical markers that differentiate Mediterranean orange blossom honey according to geographical and botanical origins.
Applied non-targeted ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) metabolomics to orange blossom honey samples from Greece, Italy, and Egypt.
Integrated complementary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and melissopalynological pollen analysis to profile volatile constituents and floral background.
Disclosed 40 candidate chemical markers capable of differentiating orange blossom honeys across the three Mediterranean regions.
Identified distinct marker profiles: Italian honey showed a preponderance of flavonoids, Greek honey was enriched in terpenoids, iridoids, and novel furan derivatives, and Egyptian honey was characterized by suberic acid and a fatty acid ester derivative.
