Sažetak
The mineral content of different types of honey reflects the botanical origin of samples. The amount of major and trace minerals present in honey could be related to their arrangement into the soil. Many types of minerals in floral plants first enter into the roots and reached to nectar and finally get into the honey. The increased concentration of trace elements in honey sampled near industrial areas was observed in most cases. Therefore, the quantification of trace toxic mineral elements in honey samples becomes important due to their effects on human health, control of honey quality/safety, as well as because of environmental biomonitoring. We measured mineral contents of 99 floral honey samples taken from Croatia and surrounding countries (Hungary, Serbia and Italy). In all samples, K was identified as the predominant mineral, followed by Ca, Na, Mg, Fe, Mn and Zn. We didn't detect toxic metals (Co, Cr, Pb, Cd and Hg) in our samples.
