Analysis of Volatile Compounds of Some Turkish Flower Honey Samples by Solid-Phase Microextraction and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry
Abstract
Honey is a nutritious food with economic importance for many countries worldwide. It is very important to know the origin of the flower in evaluating the quality of honey, and it is known that honey volatiles play a major role in differentiating different types of honey based on their plant origin. The solid-phase microextraction (SPME) followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) technique is frequently used in the determination of the flower origin of honey through the analysis of volatile aromatic compounds. In this study, five different flower honey provided from different regions of Turkey and some of volatile aroma components which were determined by GC-MS are dl-alanine (% 2.78), acetic acid (% 5.85), butane (% 2.94), furfural (% 12.37), benzaldehyde (% 1.57), benzeneacetaldehyde (% 4.96), benzoic acid (% 2.6), benzoic acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester (% 0.96), ethanol (% 4.22), nonanal (% 1.41), nonanoic acid (% 2.34), hexanoic acid (% 6.47), octanoic acid (% 4.68), methyl 2-furoate (% 3.85), and ethylhexanoic acid (% 3.27). Thus, the effect of different regions on honey aroma was investigated with the aim to reveal honey varieties based on their content of volatile compounds.
