  • Title: Chemometrical analysis of 18 metallic and nonmetallic elements found in honeys sold in france.
    Author: Devillers J, Doré JC, Marenco M, Poirier-Duchêne F, Galand N, Viel C.
    Journal: J Agric Food Chem; 2002 Oct 09; 50(21):5998-6007. PubMed ID: 12358472.
    Abstract:
    The elemental analysis of 86 honeys sold in France was performed with an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer in order to measure significant concentrations of Ag, Ca, Cr, Co, Cu, Fe, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, P, S, Zn, Al, Cd, Hg, Ni, and Pb. Principal component analysis, correspondence factor analysis, and hierarchical cluster analysis were used to rationalize and interpret the analytical data. Crude relationships were found between the elemental profiles of the honeys and their botanical origin. Some honeys were highly polluted by heavy metals and/or other xenobiotics. Explanations for these contaminations are proposed.
