In this study macro, micro and trace elemental concentrations were measured in Eritrean acacia honey samples by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (Al, B, C, K, Mg, Na, P and S) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sr and Zn). The concentration of essential elements in the examined Eritrean acacia honeys decreased in the following order: K > P > Ca > Mg > Fe > Zn > Mn > Cu > Sr > Mo. Independent samples T test was used to determine the statistically verified differences between the two regions, but there was none; however there were remarkable differences among the measured element contents of specific honey samples. Elemental concentrations of Eritrean honeys are influenced by the characteristics of the collecting area (e.g. elevation, agricultural activities, water resources).Our samples showed low essential elemental concentration; therefore the consumption of these honeys does not contribute significantly to the nutrition reference value (NRV) (around 1% of NRV). Toxic elemental concentrations were also low; thus the calculated estimated daily intakes were much lower than the tolerable daily intakes. Consumption of these honeys presents no risk for the human body.
本研究采用电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法（Al、B、C、K、Mg、Na、P 和 S）和电感耦合等离子体质谱法（As、Ba、Cd、Co、Cr、Cu、Fe、Mn、Mo、Ni、Pb、Sr 和 Zn）测定了埃塞俄比亚相思蜂蜜样品中的宏量、微量和痕量元素浓度。所检查的埃塞俄比亚相思蜂蜜中的必需元素浓度按以下顺序降低：K＞P＞Ca＞Mg＞Fe＞Zn＞Mn＞Cu＞Sr＞Mo。独立样本 T 检验用于确定两个地区之间具有统计学意义的差异，但没有差异；然而，特定蜂蜜样品的测量元素含量存在显著差异。埃塞俄比亚蜂蜜的元素浓度受采集区域的特征（例如海拔、农业活动、水资源）的影响。我们的样品显示出低浓度的必需元素；因此，这些蜂蜜的消耗对营养参考值 (NRV) 没有显著贡献（约 NRV 的 1%）。有毒元素浓度也较低；因此，计算得出的每日估计摄入量远低于可耐受每日摄入量。这些蜂蜜的消费对人体没有风险。
