- Abstract
Turkey is the world's largest honey producer after China. Honey is one of Turkey's most important agricultural export products. Due to uncontrolled antibiotic sale and unconscious use, antibiotic residues in Turkish honey cause important problems in exports. The presence of antibiotic residues in honey can be harmful to human health. Antibiotic residue in honey is still a major problem worldwide. Antibiotic residues in honey were mostly caused by incorrect beekeeping practices, not from the environment. The aim of this study was to determine the neomycin and tetracycline residues in honey collected from the Erzurum province. For this purpose, 79 honey samples were analyzed by the enzyme-linked immunoassay method. Tetracycline residues were found to be between 2.1 and 47.08 ppb in 37 of 79 honey samples (46.8%) and had an average of 9.33 ppb, while 22 of the samples were below the minimum detection limit (<2 ppb). Neomycin residues could not be detected in 79 honey samples (minimum detection limit 15.63 ng/mL). There are no maximum residue limits established for antibiotics in honey according to the Turkish Food Codex regulations, which means honey should not contain antibiotics. As a result, it is believed that honey producers should be informed that it is not legal to use antibiotics in honey production.
