toward characterizing the general properties of the </span> <span style="font-size:12px;">Onobrychis </span> <span style="font-size:12px;"> Miller (sainfoin) honey.We analyzed 21 samples of </span> <span style="font-size:12px;">Onobrychis </span> <span style="font-size:12px;"> honeys, which were collected
in 2013, from Northeast Anatolia according to their microscopic and
physicochemical features (fructose/glucose (F/G) ratio, 5-(hydroxymethyl)
furan-2-carbaldehyde (HMF) value, and volatile compounds). The relationships
were examined between these variables with statistical methods such as
principal component, regression, and correlation analyses. Statistical analyses
revealed certain correlation patterns between several parameters. </span> <span style="font-size:12px;">Onobrychis radiata </span> <span style="font-size:12px;"> (Desf.) M. Bieb., </span> <span style="font-size:12px;">O. tournefortii </span> <span style="font-size:12px;"> (Willd.) Desv., </span> <span style="font-size:12px;">O. oxyodonta </span> <span style="font-size:12px;">Boiss. and </span> <span style="font-size:12px;">Onobrychis </span> <span style="font-size:12px;"> spp. pollens were
identified.TPN-10 ranged from 6532 to 481157 while the HMF values were between
0.1–7.5 mg/kg and F/G ratios were between 0.8–1.3. Alcohols, aldehydes,
aliphatic acids and their esters, carboxylic acids and their esters,
hydrocarbons, flavonoids, ketones, sugars and vitamins were identified in the
honey samples within ranges of 0–11.95%, 0–16.76%, 0–24.72%, 0–1.86%, 0–14.71%,
2.74–7.09%, 0–27.02%, 5.12–51.39%, and 0–21.36%, respectively.Although it was
not significant, a positive correlation between flavonoids and </span> <span style="font-size:12px;">Onobrychis </span> <span style="font-size:12px;"> pollen number was calculated
via correlation analysis. There was no meaningful correlation between </span> <span style="font-size:12px;">Onobrychis </span> <span style="font-size:12px;"> pollen number and other
parameters. Although a negative trend between flavonoids and sugars was
observed, it was not significant. F/G ratio was found to be positively
correlated with sugars, HMF, and TPN-10 of which the latter two parameters had
significant values. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation between
TPN-10 and HMF was also detected.  </span> <font face="Times New Roman, serif"> <span style="font-size:9pt;"> </span> </font> </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}
