() honey is rich in effective ingredients including flavonoids, terpenes, and alkaloids that are beneficial to human health. In this study, widely targeted metabolomics were used to detect the plant-derived secondary metabolites of the same batch of honey from 2022 to 2024, in order to explore whether storage time changes the quality of honey, especially the content of plant-derived secondary metabolites with important health benefits. The results showed that storage time had no significant effect on the content of sugars, proteins, and other major components in honey. At the same time, we also found that although storage time had an impact on the content of some secondary metabolites such as flavonoids in honey, the changes in the content of the characteristic active ingredient, hyperoside, in honey were not significant. These findings suggest that storage time has a minimal impact on the quality of honey. This study provides a theoretical basis for the rational storage of honey.
蜂蜜富含黄酮类、萜类和生物碱等对人体健康有益的有效成分。在本研究中，采用广泛靶向代谢组学方法检测了2022年至2024年同一批次蜂蜜中的植物源次生代谢产物，以探讨储存时间是否会改变蜂蜜的品质，特别是具有重要健康益处的植物源次生代谢产物的含量。结果表明，储存时间对蜂蜜中糖类、蛋白质等主要成分的含量没有显著影响。同时，我们还发现，虽然储存时间对蜂蜜中一些次生代谢产物如黄酮类化合物的含量有影响，但蜂蜜中特征活性成分金丝桃苷含量的变化并不显著。这些发现表明，储存时间对蜂蜜品质的影响极小。本研究为蜂蜜的合理储存提供了理论依据。
