Abstract

Qualitative and quantitative analyzes of metals in honey are important for the quality and au-thenticity of honey. Therefore, in this study, the concentrations of some metals in honey sam-ples obtained from beekeepers in 8 different regions of Bingöl province of Turkey (Merkez, Genç, Solhan, Yayladere, Karlıova, Yedisu, Adaklı ve Kığı) were determined by ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry). The concentrations of Al, As, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mg, Mn, Se, Sr, Zn metals were investigated in honey samples. Al, Ba, Cu were not determined in Merkez and Genç honey samples, but other elements were detected. While Hg could not be determined in all honeys, other elements were detected. In honey sam-ples, K element was detected at the highest concentration (442.56±1.8 mg/kg), while the low-est concentration was observed in As (6.0±1 µg/kg). It was observed that the As levels deter-mined as a result of this study did not exceed the maximum limits accepted by the European Union, and the other metal concentrations were at acceptable levels. It was determined that honey samples produced in Bingöl region are rich in minerals, not completely devoid of heavy metals, but heavy metal concentrations are below the limits determined in the literature.
