Popis: Various honeys from French Guiana were collected and analyzed to investigate their volatile fraction composition and antioxidant activity. Volatile composition was assessed using HS-SPME/GC, GC-MS technique. Oxygenated monoterpenes like hotrienol (0.5–45.3%) were found as major molecules, followed by non terpenic compounds like phenylacetaldehyde (0.8–18.2%) or 3-hydroxy-4-phenyl-2-butanone (0.1–29.3%). Three chemical groups using statistical analysis were classified within investigated honey samples: norisoprenoids/shikimates, mevalonate and their combination. Total phenolics content (TPC) was determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method. Antioxidant activity was assessed by oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) and 2,2′-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) assays. TPC and anti-radical activity were compared with multifloral honeys from neighboring regions, indicating the possible presence of compounds from the polyphenol family. These results are promising for further biological studies involving honeys from French Guiana.
