TI  - The Microscopic and GC-MS Analysis of Turkish Honeydew (Pine) Honey
AB  - 78 honey samples were collected from September to November between the years 2004-2006 where the most of the honeydew beekeeping process is realized in Muğla city in Turkey. All honey samples were investigated with microscope and were checked the Number of Honeydew Elements (NHE) and the Number of Total Pollen (NTP). The quality of honey samples was determined by correlating NHE to NTP ratio and the honey which has NHE to NTP ratio bigger than 4.5 was accepted as a high density superior quality honeydew (pine) honey. As a result of identifications which have been made in microscope, 50 honey samples of 78 honey samples were selected as high quality pine honey and they were appropriate ones to study for GC-MS chemical compounds analysis. As a result of GC-MS chemical compounds analysis of 50 honeydew honeys were found chemical compounds which are important for human body. These are aromatic aldehydes, aldehydes, aromatic alcohols, flavanones, linear hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, aromatic acids, aromatic acid esters, linear acid esters and other chemical compounds.
