摘要

In Ghana, honey is used as a sweetener in beverages and in herbal medicines due to its health benefits. However, honeys are prone to contamination with hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) from bees foraging on PA-containing plants. This paper deals with the quantification of PAs in honey em-anating from different Ghanaian markets, geographical and botanical origins in order to assess its potential health threat. PAs of 48 honey samples were extracted with 0.05 M sulph-uric acid and then purified and analysed by Strata SCX-SPE and HPLC-ESI-MS/MS sum parameter method, respec-tively. The results show that a total of 88 % of the raw honeys sold in the various markets were PA positive including all honeys from the supermarkets. The highest concentration of PAs (2638.7 μg/kg) was found in a honey from Hoezo; a town in the rain forest area of the Volta region. The mean PA concentration of the positive samples was 323.1 μg/kg. Generally, higher concentrations of PAs were observed in light amber and forest honeys, while lower amounts were detected in extra light amber and savanna honeys. The determined PA pattern in the honeys could assist beekeepers in selecting the most suitable locations for the production of honey low in PA. Furthermore, the geographically central location of Ghana within West Africa can serve as a model to study PA contamination in honeys in the sub-region. PA concentrations of Ghanaian honey were generally above the tolerable levels of exposure (0.007 μg/kg/day and 0.1 μg/kg bw/day)proposed by some regulatory agencies thereby posing food safety concerns for local honey consumers and export-ing destinations.
