Abstract
Honey samples from various origins have been found to contain a diverse range of chemical compounds with antibiotic and pesticide properties through the ingestion of residues found in the pollen and nectar of plants and in water. It is of utmost necessity to identify the several antibiotic and pesticide compounds of honey through instrumental characterization. The antibiotics belonging to amphenicols, tetracyclines, and sulfonamides are frequently encountered by beekeepers in many honey samples. Similarly, pesticides such as molinate, propachlor, ethalfluralin, atrazine, and metribuzin were also reported from honey samples irrespective of their flavor and origin. With the emergence of sophisticated bio-instrumentation procedures, the researchers were constantly trying to optimize the most reliable ways to instantly identify the presence of antibiotics and pesticides in the honey. High-performance enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, high-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and the Charm II test are a few of the most extensively utilized analytical tools for the detection of antibiotics and pesticides in the honey samples. In order to aid future study this chapter aims to compile all of the reliable data found in the academic database about the detection and identification of pesticides and antibiotics in honey under one title.
