Abstract
Chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) and Rhododendron (Rhododendron spp. L.) (mad honey) honeys are
produced generally in Black Sea Region in Turkey and both of them are the special honeys because of
their organic component content and known their high antioxidant capacity. In the first step of this study
we researched the melissopalynological differentiation of the chestnut and rhododendron honeys and
then in the second step we determined the chemical compounds and sugar content of the rhododendron,
chestnut and mixed chestnut&rhododendron honeys. For this purpose total 18 honey samples were collected
from 4 different districts from Black Sea Region of Turkey and melissopalynological analyses were done
by microscope. Chemical composition and sugar content (fructose&glucose) were determined by High
Performance Liquid Chromatograpy (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). After
melissopalynological anaylses were obtained 10 monofloral chestnut, 2 monofloral rhododendron and 6 mixed
chestnut&rhododendron honeys. As a result of sugar analysis with HPLC, F/G rates were found between 1.17
and 1.80. GC-MS chemical substance analyses of honeys revealed alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, aliphatic acids
and their esters, carboxylic acids and their esters and flavanonoids.
