However, determining the authenticity of such products continues to be demanded by consumers and the beekeeping sector itself. Honey is the most studied bee product, but the evaluation of the physicochemical characteristics of pollen, propolis, and other bee products is also demanded by the food and cosmetic industries. Thus, research on the nutritional composition, sensory properties, and effects on human health of these hive products, as well as advances in analytical technologies, are welcome in this Special Issue.</p> <p>This Special Issue seeks to publish innovative research dealing with the physicochemical characteristics, functional/biological, antibacterial, and medicinal properties of bee products. We would like to invite researchers to submit unpublished manuscripts and review papers on the botanical profile, chemical composition, sensorial characteristics, functional and medicinal properties of these products, as well as innovative analytical techniques for their determination.</p> <p>Prof. Dr. Olga Escuredo<br />Prof. Dr. M.

In this study, widely targeted metabolomics were used to detect the plant-derived secondary metabolites of the same batch of <i>A. pictum</i> honey from 2022 to 2024, in order to explore whether storage time changes the quality of <i>A. pictum</i> honey, especially the content of plant-derived secondary metabolites with important health benefits. The results showed that storage time had no significant effect on the content of sugars, proteins, and other major components in <i>A. pictum</i> honey. At the same time, we also found that although storage time had an impact on the content of some secondary metabolites such as flavonoids in <i>A. pictum</i> honey, the changes in the content of the characteristic active ingredient, hyperoside, in <i>A. pictum</i> honey were not significant. These findings suggest that storage time has a minimal impact on the quality of <i>A. pictum</i> honey. This study provides a theoretical basis for the rational storage of <i>A. pictum</i> honey. <a href="/2304-8158/13/23/3790">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/foods/special_issues/DVEB4J138P ">Recent Advances and Opportunities of Honey & Bee Products</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/13/23/3790/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1529271"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1529271"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1529271" data-cycle-prev="#prev1529271" data-cycle-progressive="#images1529271" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1529271-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-03790/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-03790-g001-550.jpg?1732777646" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images1529271" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1529271-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-03790/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-03790-g002-550.jpg?1732777647'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1529271-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-03790/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-03790-g003-550.jpg?1732777650'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1529271-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-03790/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-03790-g004-550.jpg?1732777654'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-1529271-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-03790/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-03790-g005-550.jpg?1732777658'><p>Figure 5</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='5' data-target='article-1529271-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-03790/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-03790-g006-550.jpg?1732777660'><p>Figure 6</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1529271-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-03790/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-03790-g001-550.jpg?1732777646" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>Data quality assessment of widely targeted metabolomics on <span class="html-italic">Apocynum pictum</span> honey from 2022 to 2024.

Simple and feasible methods for honey authentication are needed to ascertain honey compliance and quality. Working on a robust dataset and simultaneously investigating honey traceability and adulterant detection, this study proposed a portable FTNIR fingerprinting approach combined with chemometrics. Multifloral and unifloral honey samples (<i>n</i> = 244) from Spain and Sardinia (Italy) were discriminated by botanical and geographical origin. Qualitative and quantitative methods were developed using linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and partial least squares (PLS) regression to detect adulterated honey with two syrups, consisting of glucose, fructose, and maltose. Botanical and geographical origins were predicted with 90% and 95% accuracy, respectively. LDA models discriminated pure and adulterated honey samples with an accuracy of over 92%, whereas PLS allows for the accurate quantification of over 10% of adulterants in unifloral and 20% in multifloral honey. <a href="/2304-8158/13/19/3062">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/foods/special_issues/DVEB4J138P ">Recent Advances and Opportunities of Honey & Bee Products</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/13/19/3062/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1486055"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1486055"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1486055" data-cycle-prev="#prev1486055" data-cycle-progressive="#images1486055" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1486055-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-03062/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-03062-ag-550.jpg?1728383457" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Graphical abstract</p></div><script id="images1486055" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1486055-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-03062/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-03062-g001-550.jpg?1727336977'><p>Figure 1</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1486055-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-03062/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-03062-g002-550.jpg?1727336978'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1486055-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-03062/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-03062-g003-550.jpg?1727336980'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-1486055-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-03062/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-03062-g004-550.jpg?1727336982'><p>Figure 4</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1486055-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-03062/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-03062-ag-550.jpg?1728383457" title=" <strong>Graphical abstract</strong><br/><strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2304-8158/13/19/3062'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-03062/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-03062-g001-550.jpg?1727336977" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>(<b>A</b>) Composition of datasets and geographical–botanical origins of honeys.

In this study, four types of honey (meadow, acacia, chestnut, and honey in comb) collected at three different locations were analyzed for Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn levels. The highest levels of Fe and Cu in chestnut honey, Co and Zn in meadow honey, and Pb in honey in comb were observed in Varaždin County. The lowest levels of Pb in meadow honey and Co in comb honey were found from apiaries in Sisak-Moslavina County. Significant differences in the mean concentrations of Cr, Cu, Mn, and Fe were observed among the four honey types. Conversely, no significant differences in Co, Pb, and Zn levels were found. Most of the significant differences between the elements are related to chestnut honey. While sampling location (Fe) and type of honey (Pb), or both (Cr and Zn), significantly influenced the concentrations of some elements, these factors were found to be irrelevant for Mn, Co, and Cu. The results showed varying degrees of similarities and differences in mineral levels in honey samples, depending on floral and geographical origin. <a href="/2304-8158/13/17/2754">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/foods/special_issues/DVEB4J138P ">Recent Advances and Opportunities of Honey & Bee Products</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/13/17/2754/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1467130"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1467130"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1467130" data-cycle-prev="#prev1467130" data-cycle-progressive="#images1467130" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1467130-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-02754/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-02754-g001-550.jpg?1724938545" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images1467130" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1467130-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-02754/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-02754-g002-550.jpg?1724938547'><p>Figure 2</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1467130-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-02754/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-02754-g001-550.jpg?1724938545" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>Location sampling sites where a total of 36 pooled samples of different honey types were collected in the continental part of Croatia (Location 1, Location 2, and Location 3) in the counties of Varaždin, Zagreb, and Sisak-Moslavina.</p> <strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2304-8158/13/17/2754'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-02754/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-02754-g002-550.jpg?1724938547" title=" <strong>Figure 2</strong><br/> <p>Results of general regression model expressed as pareto charts of t-values obtained for the influence of predictor variables on the concentrations of selected elements determined in honey samples.

Nevertheless, existing studies on the physicochemical properties and the sensorial profile of honey in relation to botanical origin remain insufficient. This study aimed to understand the relationships between sensory profile and various chemical compounds (minerals, sugars, water content and volatiles) of three monofloral honeys (<i>Atractylis serratuloides</i>, <i>Retama sphaerocarpa</i> and <i>Eruca sativa</i>) produced in Algeria using principal component analysis. Crystallization was detected as a distinctive attribute of <i>Eruca</i> and <i>Atractylis</i> honey. A candy aroma and odor with floral nuances, light color, crystallized state and the volatile compounds Alpha-Bisabolol and Beta-eudesmol characterized the <i>Atractylis</i> honey. <i>Eruca</i> honeys were distinguished by an animal and degraded odor, bitter taste, light color and the presence of Dimethyl trisulfide and Dimethyl tetrasulfide. Finally, a vegetal aroma, some saltiness and sourness, dark amber color, lower sugar content, higher K content and Lilac aldehyde and Lilac aldehyde D characterized <i>Retama</i> honeys. <a href="/2304-8158/13/15/2421">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/foods/special_issues/DVEB4J138P ">Recent Advances and Opportunities of Honey & Bee Products</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/13/15/2421/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1446574"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1446574"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1446574" data-cycle-prev="#prev1446574" data-cycle-progressive="#images1446574" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1446574-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-02421/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-02421-g001-550.jpg?1722402556" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images1446574" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1446574-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-02421/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-02421-g002-550.jpg?1722402562'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1446574-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-02421/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-02421-g003-550.jpg?1722402563'><p>Figure 3</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1446574-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-02421/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-02421-g001-550.jpg?1722402556" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>Geographical location of the honey samples: <span class="html-italic">Atractylis</span> honeys (shaded in blue), <span class="html-italic">Eruca</span> honeys (orange) and <span class="html-italic">Retama</span> honeys (green).</p> <strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2304-8158/13/15/2421'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-02421/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-02421-g002-550.jpg?1722402562" title=" <strong>Figure 2</strong><br/> <p>Graphical representation of the sensorial profile of each honey type.

Despite its widespread presence in Europe and its significant nectar production, there is currently limited scientific data on the unique unifloral honey derived from it. This study examines the physicochemical composition of <i>Fallopia japonica</i> honey (FJH) samples collected from various regions in Romania. Additionally, the nutritional and antioxidant profiles of FJH were assessed. The sensory analysis revealed a honey with a brown-caramel color and an intense flavor, characterized by fine, consistent crystals during crystallization. The results indicated that FJH has a high carbohydrate content (fructose: 35.12–40.65 g/100 g; glucose: 28.06–37.79 g/100 g); elevated electrical conductivity (387–692 µS/cm), diastase activity (9.11–17.01 DN), and acidity (21.61–42.89 meq/kg); and substantial total phenolic (89.87–120.08 mg/100 g) and flavonoid (18.13–39.38 mg/g) contents. These findings highlight FJH’s favorable nutritional properties, aligning with the standard codex for honey. The antioxidant profile of FJH demonstrated strong DPPH and ferric reduction antioxidant power (FRAP) activities, comparable to those of buckwheat honey, underscoring its potential health benefits and commercial value. These results provide new insights into how this invasive plant can be harnessed as a valuable resource for sustainable beekeeping practices. <a href="/2304-8158/13/13/1959">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/foods/special_issues/DVEB4J138P ">Recent Advances and Opportunities of Honey & Bee Products</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/13/13/1959/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1419441"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1419441"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1419441" data-cycle-prev="#prev1419441" data-cycle-progressive="#images1419441" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1419441-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-01959/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-01959-g001-550.jpg?1720170221" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images1419441" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1419441-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-01959/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-01959-g002-550.jpg?1720170224'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1419441-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-01959/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-01959-g003-550.jpg?1720170226'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1419441-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-01959/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-01959-g004-550.jpg?1720170229'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-1419441-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-01959/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-01959-g005-550.jpg?1720170230'><p>Figure 5</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1419441-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-01959/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-01959-g001-550.jpg?1720170221" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>FJH samples gathered from the three experimental sites.

However, its bioavailability is restricted by a degradation-resistant outer layer known as exine. Physical and biotechnological techniques have recently been developed to degrade this layer and improve pollen’s nutritional and functional profile. This review examines how processing methods such as fermentation, enzymatic hydrolysis, ultrasound, and drying affect pollen’s chemical profile, nutrient content, and bioactive compounds. The review also considers changes in exine structure and possible synergistic effects between these methods. In addition, the challenges associated with the commercialization of processed bee pollen are examined, including issues such as product standardization, stability during storage, and market acceptance. The objective was to provide an understanding of the efficacy of these techniques, their physicochemical conditions, and their effect on the nutritional value of the pollen. The work also analyzes whether pollen transformation is necessary to maximize its benefits and offers conclusions based on the analysis of available methods, helping to determine whether pollen transformation is a valid strategy for inclusion in functional foods and its impact on consumer health. Although the literature reports that pollen transformation influences its final quality, further studies are needed to demonstrate the need for pollen exine modification, which could lead to greater market availability of pollen-based products with functional properties. <a href="/2304-8158/13/21/3437">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/foods/special_issues/DVEB4J138P ">Recent Advances and Opportunities of Honey & Bee Products</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/13/21/3437/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1508316"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1508316"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1508316" data-cycle-prev="#prev1508316" data-cycle-progressive="#images1508316" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1508316-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-03437/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-03437-g001-550.jpg?1730702980" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images1508316" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1508316-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-03437/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-03437-g002-550.jpg?1730702981'><p>Figure 2</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1508316-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/foods/foods-13-03437/article_deploy/html/images/foods-13-03437-g001-550.jpg?1730702980" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>Graphical representation of the two ways of obtaining bee bread.
