Abstract

5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is formed by reducing sugars in honey in acidic environments by the Maillard reaction and is known as a carcinogenic, mutagenic and genotoxic compound. The aim of this study is to investigate the toxic HMF content of unbranded flower honey samples sold under the sun under inappropriate conditions and unsupervised on the highway sides and to make an evaluation in terms of food safety. The quality of the analysis results was guaranteed by participating in an international proficiency test. Analysis was performed on a High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) device with Diode Array Detector (DAD) and Refractive Index (RI) detectors- The HMF levels of 5 honey samples were determined to exceed the legal limit (40 mg kg-1). It is revealed by the current study that the honey sold on the roadside is not safe in terms of toxic HMF. In addition, 5 samples were not found to comply with the regulation in terms of glucose + fructose content and 2 samples in terms of fructose/glucose ratio. Thus, it has also been determined that these honeys are not reliable in terms of purity.

Özet

5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), Maillard reaksiyonu ile baldaki şekerlerin asidik ortamlarda indirgenmesiyle oluşur ve karsinojenik, mutajenik ve genotoksik bir bileşik olarak bilinir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, karayolu kenarlarında güneşin altında uygunsuz koşullarda, denetimsiz satılan markasız çiçek balı örneklerinde toksik HMF içeriğini araştırmak ve gıda güvenliği açısından bir değerlendirme yapmaktır. Analiz sonuçlarının kalitesi, uluslararası bir yeterlilik testine katılarak garanti altına alınmıştır. HMF ve şeker seviyelerinin belirlenmesi için sırasıyla, Diyot Dizisi Dedektör (DAD) ve Refraktif İndeks (RI) dedektöre sahip bir HPLC cihazı kullanılmıştır. Beş bal numunesinin HMF seviyelerinin yasal sınırı (40 mg kg-1) aştığı belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma, yol kenarlarında satışa sunulan balların toksik HMF bakımından güvenli olmadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca, 5 numune glukoz + fruktoz içeriği bakımından, 2 numune de fruktoz/glukoz oranı bakımından yönetmeliğe uygun bulunmamıştır. Böylece, bu balların saflık bakımından da güvenilir olmadığı belirlenmiştir.
