Heather honey is highly appreciated by consumers for its sensorial profile, which varies depending on the flora used by the honeybees. Volatile compounds contribute to these qualities. Characterization of the volatile profile related to the botanical origin is of great interest for the standardization of unifloral honey. For this reason, 33 heather honey samples from northwest of the Iberian Peninsula were analyzed by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) to identify the key volatile compounds in this type of honey. The aim of this research was to provide a descriptive anal. of these compounds, and to find whether there is any relationship with the main Erica species. A total of 58 volatile organic compounds were found, with hotrienol, phenylacetaldehyde, and cis-linalool being the most abundant. A principal component anal. and Spearmans rank correlation showed the homogeneity of the volatile profile in the samples, and their close relationship with the main pollen types.
Food Chemistry published new progress about Erica. 78-70-6 belongs to class alcohols-buliding-blocks, and the molecular formula is C10H18O, Related Products of 78-70-6.
