Abstract
High-content sugar in honey frequently results in severe matrix effects and requires complex pretreatment prior to analysis, posing significant challenges for the rapid analysis of honey. In this study, the reversal polarity nano-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (RP-Nano-ESI-MS) analysis was developed for the direct evaluation of honey samples. The results indicated that RP-Nano-ESI-MS significantly mitigated the matrix effects induced by high-content sugar through the implementation of online desalting. Furthermore, RP-Nano-ESI-MS has been proven capable of not only differentiating acacia honey adulterated with 10% rape honey, but also effectively distinguishing six types of honey and exhibiting remarkable proficiency in detecting honey adulteration and botanical traceability. Additionally, RP-Nano-ESI-MS exhibited strong quantitative abilities, effectively characterizing variations in amino acid composition among six types of honey with high stability and reproducibility. Our studies underscore the significant potential of RP-Nano-ESI-MS for its rapid in situ analysis of sugar-rich foods like honey, especially in their authenticity verification.

Abstract
Fallopia japonica (FJ), commonly known as Japanese knotweed, is now recognized as one of the most invasive plants in Europe and globally. Despite its widespread presence in Europe and its significant nectar production, there is currently limited scientific data on the unique unifloral honey derived from it. This study examines the physicochemical composition of Fallopia japonica honey (FJH) samples collected from various regions in Romania. Additionally, the nutritional and antioxidant profiles of FJH were assessed. The sensory analysis revealed a honey with a brown-caramel color and an intense flavor, characterized by fine, consistent crystals during crystallization. The results indicated that FJH has a high carbohydrate content (fructose: 35.12-40.65 g/100 g; glucose: 28.06-37.79 g/100 g); elevated electrical conductivity (387-692 µS/cm), diastase activity (9.11-17.01 DN), and acidity (21.61-42.89 meq/kg); and substantial total phenolic (89.87-120.08 mg/100 g) and flavonoid (18.13-39.38 mg/g) contents. These findings highlight FJH's favorable nutritional properties, aligning with the standard codex for honey. The antioxidant profile of FJH demonstrated strong DPPH and ferric reduction antioxidant power (FRAP) activities, comparable to those of buckwheat honey, underscoring its potential health benefits and commercial value. These results provide new insights into how this invasive plant can be harnessed as a valuable resource for sustainable beekeeping practices.

Abstract
Citrus Huanglongbing, one of the most devastating citrus diseases, is caused by 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' (CLas). Polyamines are aliphatic nitrogen-containing compounds that play important roles in disease resistance and are synthesized primarily by two pathways: an arginine decarboxylation pathway and an ornithine decarboxylation pathway. However, it is unclear whether polyamines play a role in the tolerance of citrus to infection by CLas and, if so, whether one or both of the core polyamine metabolic pathways are important. We used high-performance liquid chromatography and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry to detect the contents of nine polyamine metabolism-related compounds in six citrus cultivars with varying levels of tolerance to CLas. We also systematically detected the changes in polyamine metabolism-related compounds and H2O2 contents and compared the gene expression levels and the activities of enzymes involved in the polyamine metabolic pathway among healthy, asymptomatic, and symptomatic leaves of Newhall navel oranges infected with CLas. The tolerant and moderately tolerant varieties showed higher polyamine metabolism-related compound levels than those of susceptible varieties. Compared with the healthy group, the symptomatic group showed significantly increased contents of arginine, ornithine, γ-aminobutyric acid, and putrescine by approximately 180, 19, 1.5, and 0.2 times, respectively, and upregulated expression of biosynthetic genes. Arginase and ornithine decarboxylase enzyme activities were the highest in the symptomatic group, whereas arginine decarboxylase and agmatine deiminase enzyme activities were the highest in the asymptomatic group. The two polyamine biosynthetic pathways showed different trends with the increase of the CLas titer, indicating that polyamines were mainly synthesized through the arginine decarboxylase pathway in the asymptomatic leaves and were synthesized via the ornithine decarboxylase pathway in symptomatic leaves. These findings provide new insight into the changes in polyamine metabolism in citrus infected with CLas.

Abstract
Dendropanax dentiger honey (DDH) is a specialty herbal honey from China. Previous research on DDH has mostly focused on its composition and potential chemical markers, no studies have been conducted on the changes in aroma characteristics and chiral odorants during its maturation. Therefore, the present study aims to address the missing parts. The proportions and total concentrations of 185 volatile compounds identified in different classes varied with DDHs ripening. Fourteen common odor-active compounds were identified by odor activity values (OAVs) and GC-olfactometry (GC-O) analysis. The aroma profiles of DDHs were observed to vary at different ripening stages, although the dominant aroma characteristic was "fruity" aroma, which became more pronounced with increasing maturity. The enantiomeric contents and distributions of 7 volatile enantiomers were related to specific physicochemical indicators and the maturity of DDHs, among which the enantiomers of linalool oxide A may be a potential indicator to identify its maturity. Furthermore, precise quantification and OAVs calculation showed that the enantiomer (2S, 5S)-linalool oxide A presented the highest concentration (8.83-27.39 ng/mL) and only the enantiomer R-linalool (OAVs: 5.56-6.14) was an important contributor to the aroma profiles of DDHs at different stages of maturity. These results provided a new research idea for quality control and identification of DDHs at different maturity stages.

Abstract
Honey, a natural sweetener that can be stored long-term, is prone to Maillard reactions. Maillard reaction products (MRPs), such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), α-dicarbonyl compounds (α-DCs), and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), negatively affect human health. We analyzed MRP accumulation in chaste honey over four years. In the first year, α-DCs were dominant with total contents of 509.7 mg/kg. In the second year, Amadori compounds increased, accounting for the largest percentage. Their formation at the initial stage showed inhibition of the Maillard reaction over time. AGE contents were approximately 1.00 mg/kg over four years, which is negligible compared to other foods. Increased 5-HMF was significantly correlated with storage time (p < 0.01), making it a suitable indicator of honey quality. Due to the lack of MRP risk assessments, we compared our findings with daily intake of MRPs from other foods, and the levels of MRPs in honey over four years are acceptable.

Abstract
The maturation patterns of nectar into honey are not well understood. The current work selected Triadica cochinchinensis honey (TCH) at three maturity stages to systematically investigate the variation patterns in physicochemical parameters and metabolites. Based on both targeted and untargeted metabolomics analyses, the N1, N5, N10-(E)-tricoumaryl spermidine was identified as the plant-derived characteristic compound in TCH. A total of 26 compounds were quantified by UPLC-QTOF-MS using an external standard calibration method. Two patterns of the honey maturation process were identified based on the 723 metabolite signature transformations. The first was that the levels of plant-derived compounds with strong reducing activity were reduced, such as spermidine, flavonoids, and their derivatives. In contrast, the second pattern was that the maturation process of honey was accompanied by the formation of lactone glycoside analogs and organic acids, which may be facilitated by the enzymatic transformation of enzymes secreted by the bees.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is a common food-borne pathogen that commonly causes gastroenteritis in humans and animals. Apis laboriosa honey (ALH) harvested in China has significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus subtilis. We hypothesize that ALH has antibacterial activity against S. Typhimurium. The physicochemical parameters, minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations (MIC and MBC) and the possible mechanism were determined. The results showed that there were significantly different physicochemical parameters, including 73 phenolic compounds, among ALH samples harvested at different times and from different regions. Their antioxidant activity was affected by their components, especially total phenol and flavonoid contents (TPC, TFC), which had a high correlation with antioxidant activities except for the O2- assay. The MIC and MBC of ALH against S. Typhimurium were 20-30% and 25-40%, respectively, which were close to those of UMF5+ manuka honey. The proteomic experiment revealed the possible antibacterial mechanism of ALH1 at IC50 (2.97%, w/v), whose antioxidant activity reduced the bacterial reduction reaction and energy supply, mainly by inhibiting the citrate cycle (TCA cycle), amino acid metabolism pathways and enhancing the glycolysis pathway. The results provide a theoretical basis for the development of bacteriostatic agents and application of ALH.

Abstract
The botanical origins of honey are important for the quality control and commercialization of honey. In this research, we established a nanoliter electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (Nano-ESI-MS) method to identify Castanopsis honey (CH), Eurya honey (EH), Dendropanax dentiger honey (DH), and Triadica cochinchinensis honey (TH). In total, 38 compounds were identified based on the collision-induced dissociation experiments by Nano-ESI-MS with 16 differential compounds and 7 quantified as potential differential markers. These four types of honey were distinguished from each other by their mass spectrometry data combined with multivariate analysis with three out of the 7 differential markers, i.e., phenethylamine, tricoumaroyl spermidine, and (+/-)-abscisic acid, identified as potential markers for CH, EH, and DH, respectively. Both the qualitative and quantitative results derived from Nano-ESI-MS were further verified by UPLC-Q/TOF-MS. Our studies provided the significant potential of the Nano-ESI-MS method in the identification of the botanical origins of different kinds of honey.

Abstract
A comprehensive review of research over the last decade was conducted to carry out this work. The main objective of this work is to present relevant evidence of the effect of honey intake on the human intestinal microbiota and its relationship with the improvement of various chronic diseases, such as cirrhosis, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and obesity, among others. Therefore, this work focuses on the health-improving honey dietary supplementation implications associated with specific changes in the human microbiota and their biochemical mechanisms to enhance the proliferation of beneficial microorganisms and the inhibition of pathogenic microorganisms. Consumption of honey polyphenols significantly improves people's health conditions, especially in patients with chronic disease. Hence, honey intake unequivocally constitutes an alternative way to enhance health and could be used to prevent some relevant chronic diseases.

Abstract
Castanopsis is diffusely spread in tropical and subtropical regions and is an important nectar source plant in China. The Castanopsis honey (CH) is characterized by its bitter taste. However, its composition and functions remain unclear. In this study, the physicochemical parameters, chemical composition, and antioxidant capacity of CH were comprehensively investigated, with the anti-inflammatory effects of the Castanopsis honey extract (CHE) evaluated based on the RAW 264.7 cell inflammatory model. The results revealed a high level of quality in CH based on the quality standards. Among a total of 84 compounds identified in CH, 5 high response compounds and 29 phenols were further quantified by UPLC-Q/TOF-MS. The high content of phenylethylamine (117.58 ± 64.81 mg kg-1) was identified as a potential marker of CH. Furthermore, the CH showed evident antioxidant activities, and the anti-inflammatory activities of CHE were observed to inhibit the release of nitric oxide (NO) and reduce the content of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and improve the content of interleukin-10 (IL-10) by regulating the NF-κB pathway. Our study indicates that CH has sound physicochemical properties and biological activities with a high level of quality, providing strong experimental evidence to support the further economic and agricultural development and application of CH.

Abstract
Peony seed phospholipids (PPLs), a kind of multifunctional plant-like phospholipids were extracted from peony seed meal. We investigated the functional properties of PPLs and compared their emulsification performance in corn oil-peony seed oil o/w emulsion systems with that of soy lecithin (DPLs). The PPLs were characterized with the higher content of phosphatidylcholine (PC) (416 ± 28 mg/g) and lyso-phosphatidylcholine (LPC) (43 ± 14 mg/g) fractions, and lower content of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) (71 ± 13 mg/g). The polyunsaturated fatty acids showed higher content (83.25%), with the highest content of linoleic acid (46.05%) in PPLs. PPLs-emulsions showed smaller average particle size and higher loaded peony seed oil content at pH 5, temperature 50 °C, and about 60% corn oil content. PPLs-emulsions imparted better hydroxyl radical scavenging efficiency and reducing power than DPLs. Our results suggest that PPLs can be used as emulsifiers with improved antioxidant properties.
