PROTEINS & AMINOACIDS:Small quantities of proteins and aminoacids have been identified in honey. The aminoacids come from the pollen. MINERALSTrace-elements) The most important elements identified in dark colour honeys (e.g. pine, eucalyptus, heath honeys, etc.) are calcium, sodium, phosphorus, magnesium, silicon, iron, manganese, copper, etc. ENZYMES:These are found in small quantities but contribute significantly to the structure of honey. They come from the pollen, nectar or produced by the honeybees themselves. VITAMINS:Honey is rather low in vitamin content. However, we cannot ignore them since they help the human body absorb the sugars in honey. The main vitamins found in honey are: A1, B1, B6, B12, C, D, E, folic acid, etc. ANTIOXIDANTSIn general, darker honeys and those high in water content have stronger antioxidant potential. The antioxidants identified thus far are pinocembrin, pinobanksin, chrysin and galagin. Pinocembrin is unique to honey and found in the highest amount relative to other antio
