Antibiotics and heavy metals in Georgian honey.
2020
Georgia is considered the oldest producer of honey. Honey is a therapeutic and preventive product, so it is important to study the content of antibiotics and heavy metals, since their presence adversely affects human health. Using HPLC-UV and Vis UPLC-MS methods, we have studied 12 antibiotics in the samples of chestnut, acacia, lime, field and polypropylene (canned) honey produced in Western Georgia. The research has shown that the use of antibiotics is impractical. In the analyzed 50 samples of honey the content of heavy metals - Cd, As, Cr, Hg, Zn, Pb is below the allowable rate.
