As the global honey market experiences exponential growth, ensuring the authenticity and quality of honey has become a critical concern. This study employs melissopalynology, the analysis of pollen in honey, to ascertain both the botanical and geographical origins of honey samples. Through the examination of honey samples representing a diverse range of plant families, the research highlights the prevalence of Asteraceae and Fabaceae. The findings emphasize the pivotal role of melissopalynology in safeguarding honey quality, facilitating fair pricing, and detecting adulteration. This research not only enhances the authentication cycle for monofloral honey but also contributes significantly to the creation of a comprehensive melissopalynological database, underpinning future studies in honey authenticity and quality control.
