The physical chemistry characteristics of honey are directly related to floral origin and, as a result, to the production region. There are some available methods that can determine the botanical or geographical origin of honey such as the free amino acids profile analysis. This paper reports data on the free amino acid composition, determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography UV detection on 56 honey samples from three different Argentine regions, with characteristic apiarian flora. To evaluate if the quantified amino acid could be used to verify the geographical or botanical origin of honey, statistical analyses were performed. The cluster analysis showed that samples were grouped in clusters related to sampling regions and more strictly to apiarian flora around apiaries. Each cluster appears associated, in accordance with the principal component analysis, to high or low concentrations of different amino acids.
蜂蜜的物理化学特性与花源直接相关,因此也与产地有关。有一些可用的方法可以确定蜂蜜的植物来源或地理来源,例如游离氨基酸谱分析。本文报告了通过反相高效液相色谱紫外检测法测定来自阿根廷三个不同地区的56个蜂蜜样品中游离氨基酸组成的数据,这些地区具有独特的养蜂植物群。为了评估定量的氨基酸是否可用于验证蜂蜜的地理或植物来源,进行了统计分析。聚类分析表明,样品按与采样区域相关的簇进行分组,更严格地说是按蜂场周围的养蜂植物群进行分组。根据主成分分析,每个簇似乎都与不同氨基酸的高浓度或低浓度相关。
