Abstract

The present study was carried out in 22 samples of honey obtained in the Spanish market and labeled "Orange-flower honeys". Determination of pollen spectra was made through acetolytic analysis, allowing a minimum of 1200 pollen grains and doing the calculation of percentages in every taxa found. We set 10% as the mínimum percentage of Citrus sp. for honeys to be considered as orange-flower monofloral. Only the 64% the samples analyzed (14 samples) were orange honey. We identified 60 taxa belonging to 37 botanical families. 70% of taxa belonged to nectar-producing plants,
