Although present in very small quantities, metals are important constituents of honey, having a significant impact on vital functions in the human body. Moreover, honey can be a good source of natural antioxidants, which have an important role in reducing the negative effects of certain human diseases. The content of the determined macroelements in the analyzed samples of domestic honey turned out to be of the following descending order: Na > K>Ca > Mg, and Ca > Na > Mg > K for the commercial types of honey. Generally, the detected content of macroelements was higher in domestic honey compared to commercial honeys, as well as in the case of the content of microelements. In some types of honey, the toxic elements Pb and Cd were detected, which is an indicator of environmental pollution. The results of total phenols content and antioxidant activities have shown that the sample of domestic floral honey from the area of Vlasina has the largest total phenols content and very high antioxidant activities, as well as manuka in the group of the commercial types of honey. The contents of the detected macro and microelements have shown lot of variations which confirms that the geographical origin of honey has a very important influence on its final mineral composition. The detected contents of Pb and Cd, were low, but due to the cumulative and toxic effects of these metals, it is necessary to constantly monitor the content of these pollutants in honey.

尽管金属含量很少，但它是蜂蜜的重要成分，对人体的重要功能具有重大影响。此外，蜂蜜是天然抗氧化剂的良好来源，对于减少某些人类疾病的负面影响具有重要作用。国产蜂蜜分析样品中常量元素的含量由大到小依次为：Na > K > Ca > Mg，商业蜂蜜中Ca > Na > Mg > K。一般来说，国产蜂蜜中常量元素的检测含量高于商品蜂蜜。，以及微量元素的含量。部分品种的蜂蜜中检出了有毒元素Pb和Cd，这是环境污染的指标。总酚含量和抗氧化活性的结果表明，来自Vlasina地区的国产花蜜样品具有最大的总酚含量和非常高的抗氧化活性，以及​​商业类型蜂蜜中的麦卢卡。内容为检测到的常量和微量元素表现出很大的变化，这证实了蜂蜜的地理来源对其最终矿物质成分有非常重要的影响。Pb和Cd的检出含量较低，但由于这些金属的累积和毒性作用，有必要对蜂蜜中这些污染物的含量进行持续监测。
