Mineral and lipid composition of beekeeping products and quality for the traditional and organic production at Polissya
Journal Title: Біологія тварин - Year 2016, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
The research has been conducted at production bases of neighboring farms located in the traditional agroecological conditions and at certified organic agricultural production of Chernihiv region. The results of studies of mineral composition of bee products, quality indicators and biological value of honey and relative content of lipid fractions of ambrosia are presented. As a result of studies it has been established that the keeping of honeybees in agroecological conditions of organic apiary is accompanied by lower content of heavy metals in products beekeeping. The content of copper, chromium, cobalt, zinc and cadmium in honey, ambrosia and wax of honey bees that were kept under conditions of conventional and certified organic agricultural production in the area of Polissya has been studied. It has been established that agricultural environmental conditions of organic agriculture contribute to credible reduction of Cu, Co, Cr, Zn and Cd in honey. The increase of proline and pH in samples of honey from the apiary conditions for organic agricultural production has been marked. The data on total lipid content and of individual classes in ambrosia under traditional and certified organic production conditions are presented. The probable reduction of phospholipids, mono- and triacylglycerols and diacylglycerols in ambrosia samples that were selected from certified apiary has been established. The decisive influence of agroecological conditions and supply of honey bees, as well as indicators of mineral, lipid metabolism, and quality of life of bees honey is discussed.
