摘要

This study considers the impact of commercial honey on human health and analyzes the levels of elements linked to different honey kinds. The study analyzed the levels of various elements in 13 different honey samples. The level ranges for the elements were as follows: Cd (0.002–0.186 ppm), Cr (0.053–0.107 ppm), Mn (0.071–0.622 ppm), Fe (6.973–9.820 ppm), Zn (2.044–6.883 ppm), Sr (0.172–1.63 ppm), and Pb (0.030–2.566 ppm). An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed utilizing the Tukey simultaneous test at a 95% confidence level. A homogeneity of variances test was performed using various comparison intervals for the standard deviation, with the alpha level of 0.05 for the elements Cd, Cr, Mn, Fe, Zn, Sr, and Pb. Tukey’s (95%) and Fisher’s pairwise comparison methods were employed. The statistical analysis was performed using Minitab Version 22.1 software, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Variations in the elements of honey samples were noted based on the producing process. This study aimed to safeguard human health by quantifying the element levels present in honey. The results of this study indicate that honey-producing commercial organizations have to carefully evaluate hive site selection.
