RESUMO

Melissopalynological, physicochemical analysis, mineral content, antiradical activity and profile of compounds by Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with a Diode Array Detector and quadrupole Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-DAD-qTOF-MS/MS) of Frieseomelitta doederleini honeys from semiarid region of the Northeast of Brazil are presented. The melissopalynological analysis showed two principal pollen types of Mimosa tenuiflora (jurema preta) and Shinus sp (aroeira). The chemical profile data obtained by UPLC-DAD-qTOF-MS/MS of the Mimosa tenuiflora flowers (principal pollen of honey) and the five samples of F. doederleini honeys both flowers and honey showed similar profile. Abelha branca honeys samples had similar characteristic profile of phenolic compounds (flavonoids), and also antiradical activity. The main flavonoids identified in the honey samples in the jurema preta flowers were flavonols/flavone and flavanols/flavanones aglycones. All the flavonoids identified showing that the nectar collected by the bees may be from this plant species. The antiradical activity of the honey samples strongly correlated with their phenolic content. Among the minerals analyzed, potassium was the most abundant, followed by magnesium.
