Recent Studies on Honey Varietals

Litchi (lychee) honey

Representative source: recent mono-floral quality evaluation (MDPI Foods, 2025). PMCMDPI


Key findings:

  • Comprehensive compositional profile (2025 Foods paper). A 2025 MDPI Foods study evaluated physicochemical, sugar profile, and volatile compounds of litchi honey from Southern China and provided quality benchmarks for mono-floral litchi honey. The study highlights unique volatile fingerprints that help authenticate litchi honey. PMC

  • Antioxidant & antimicrobial indicators. Litchi honey samples showed measurable phenolic content and antioxidant activity; other earlier regional studies also report antibacterial effects correlated with phenolic levels. ResearchGateOpenPR

  • Flavour / culinary value. Volatile profiles (floral, fruity esters) make litchi honey desirable for premium culinary uses and value-added products.

Macadamia honey


Representative source: phenolic/marker compound profiling in a multi-monofloral study (USC research compendium / profiling PDF). USC ResearchResearchGate

Key findings

  • Distinct phenolic marker profile. Recent profiling work shows macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) honey had the highest number of marker compounds among the examined honeys (example markers: kojic acid, gallic acid, epigallocatechin, vanillic acid, taxifolin). These markers enable botanical authentication and suggest bioactive potential. USC Research

  • Potential antioxidant capacity. The phenolic suite in macadamia honey implies measurable antioxidant activity (though absolute activity varies by origin).
