Abstract
Kynurenic acid (KYNA) has been attributed many beneficial properties, such as antioxidant, antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesogenic, as it is believed to affect metabolism and weight gain. A rapid and simple HPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of kynurenic acid (KYNA) in honey has been developed. HPLC-MS/MS system allowed us to perform the analyzes without any special extraction or treatment of the samples. The study was carried out on different honeys: Chestnut (C), Linden (L), Acacia (A), Spruce (S), Silver Fir (SF), Forest (Fo) and Flower (F). The highest mean concentration, 682 μg/g, was determined for chestnut honey, making it one of the foods with the highest KYNA content.
