- ItemComparison of volatile compounds in Retanilla trinervia [Gillies & Hook] Hook & Arn honeys from central Chile(2015) Montenegro, Gloria; Santander, Francisca; Nunez, Gabriel; Fredes, CarolinaThe search for chemical markers for determining honey authenticity as a complementary tool for melissopalynological method is an important issue in the study of honeys from different botanical origins. The objective of this study was to determine the volatile compounds in tevo (Retanilla trinervia [Gillies & Hook] Hook & Arn [Fam. Rhamnaceae]) honey as one of the most relevant honeys from central Chile. For the identification and quantification of volatile compounds, Solid-Phase Microextraction and Gas Chromatography with Mass Spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) was performed. A total of 28 out of 103 volatile compounds were found common to the five tevo honeys analyzed. Nevertheless, these compounds are common in unifloral honey of different floral sources from other countries. These results represent the first record in the identification of volatile compounds in tevo honey and would indicate that tevo honey does not present specific volatile compounds that allow its clear differentiation from other unifloral honey.
