Abstract
Abstract

Honey is a supersaturated solution that contains fructose and glucose. Honey also contains minerals, proteins, amino acids, enzymes and vitamins. There is a wide range of partial compounds in honey that many of them have antioxidant properties. These compounds include phenolic acids and flavonoids, some enzymes (glucose oxidase, catalase) and amino acids. Fluvalinate is an insecticide, acaricide broad spectrum of pyrethroids products that can be used in bee hives, gardens, greenhouses and disinfection of cuttings. In this regard, in the present study, the amount of residue of fluvalinate in honey produced in Damavand region was measured with the aim of providing the health of consumers and preparing the ground for qualitative control of this product. The honey samples used in this study were prepared from six areas of Ayeneh Varzan, Aro, Havir, Mosha, Tar Lake and Damavand in June and September. The separation and detection of toxin were done by GC-MASS. Based on the results, the residue in June in all samples was more than the samples harvested in September. In this regard, the highest amount of residue was measured in June in Ayeneh Varzan (0.077 ppm) and the lowest was measured in September in Mosha (0.021 ppm).
