Stingless bee honey, specifically honeydew honey, is generally valued for its better health benefits than those of most blossom types. However, scientific studies about the differentiation of stingless bee honey based on honeydew and blossom origins are very limited. In this study, C NMR spectroscopy was employed to quantify the seven major sugar tautomers in stingless bee honey samples, and the major sugar compositions of both honeydew and blossom types were found not significantly different. However, several physicochemical properties of honeydew honey including moisture content, free acidity, electrical conductivity, ash content, acetic acid, diastase, hydrogen peroxide, and mineral elements levels were significantly higher; while total soluble solid, proline, and hydroxymethylfurfural were significantly lower than blossom honey. Greater antioxidant capacity in honeydew honey was proven with higher total phenolic compounds, ABTS, DPPH, superoxide radical scavenging activities, peroxyl radical inhibition, iron chelation, and ferric reducing power. Using principal component analysis (PCA), two clusters of stingless bee honey from the honeydew and blossom origin were observed. PCA also revealed that the differentiation between honeydew and blossom origin of stingless bee honey is possible with certain physicochemical and antioxidant parameters. The combination of NMR spectroscopy and chemometrics are suggested to be useful to determine the authenticity and botanical origin of stingless bee honey.
无刺蜂蜂蜜,特别是甘露蜜,通常因其比大多数花蜜类型更有益于健康而受到重视。然而,关于无刺蜂蜂蜜基于甘露和花蜜来源的差异的科学研究非常有限。在这项研究中,我们采用 C NMR 光谱法来定量分析无刺蜂蜂蜜样品中的七种主要糖互变异构体,发现甘露蜜和花蜜型的主要糖分组成没有显著差异。然而,甘露蜜的一些物理化学性质,包括水分含量、游离酸度、电导率、灰分含量、乙酸、淀粉酶、过氧化氢和矿物质元素水平,显著更高;而总可溶性固体、脯氨酸和羟甲基糠醛的含量则显著低于花蜜型蜂蜜。甘露蜜具有更高的总酚化合物、ABTS、DPPH、超氧自由基清除活性、过氧自由基抑制、铁螯合和铁还原能力,证明其具有更强的抗氧化能力。使用主成分分析(PCA),观察到来自甘露和花蜜来源的两个无刺蜂蜂蜜群。PCA 还表明,利用某些物理化学和抗氧化参数可以区分无刺蜂蜂蜜的甘露和花蜜来源。建议将 NMR 光谱和化学计量学相结合,以确定无刺蜂蜂蜜的真实性和植物来源。
