Table 3.

The possible unifloral honeys found in this study. Approved unifloral honeys are marked with an asterisk. The names of some plants are repeated twice when both authentic and adulterated (adult.) samples are present with accepted pollen contents. NA is used when the standard (stand.) is not available. Yes/No in the sensory (sens.) column indicates whether or not the sample(s) has typical sensory features. The lower 4 rows display properties of potential samples with locally acknowledged unifloral origin. The column “NO.” indicates the number of samples found with the respective properties.
