Analysis of trace elements in multifloral Argentine honeys and their classification according to provenance

The concentrations of 14 trace elements Br, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Eu, Fe, La, Rb, Sb, Sc, Sm, Th and Zn) have been determined in 120 samples of light-coloured honeys from the provinces San Luis and La Pampa, middle Argentina, using instrumental neutronic activation analysis. The elemental composition was...
