Chemical constituents of selected unifloral Greek bee-honeys with antimicrobial activity.

摘要: Abstract (±)-3-Hydroxy-4-phenyl-2-butanone (1) and (+)-8-hydroxylinalool (2) were isolated from Greek honey samples their structures determined by spectroscopic mass spectrometry methods. The enantiomeric ratio of 1 2 was using chiral GC–MS. Compound has recently been proposed as a possible chemical marker thyme honey, but although 1, in our hands, identified only monofloral amongst the samples, it not found all studied additionally its origin directly associated with thyme, proving that compound should be considered an unambiguous honey. (+)-6S isomer citrus combination methyl anthranilate caffeine could fingerprint for description All extracts compounds also tested antimicrobial activity.
