JACINTO-PIMIENTA, Selene Yuliet et al. Use of principal component in melissopalynology classification of honey from Apis mellifera L. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.spe14, pp.2831-2840. ISSN 2007-0934.

38 honey samples from Apis mellifera L. were collected in six municipalities belonging to five subregions from the state of Tabasco, the melisopalinological analysis was performed, obtaining 37 important pollen types (>10%). Bursera simaruba L. (Burseraceae), Spondiasmombin (Anacardiaceae), Diphysa sp. (Fabaceae), Erythrina sp., (Fabaceae), Mimosa orthocarpa (Fabaceae), Pipersp1, sp2, sp3 (Piperaceae), Machaerium sp., (Fabaceae), Cecropia obtussifolia (Moraceae), Psidium guajava (Myrtaceae), Acalypha sp., (Euphorbiaceae), Celtis sp., (Ulmaceae), Heliocarpus appendiculatus (Tiliaceae), Conocarpus sp., (Combretaceae), Haematoxy lumcampechianum (Fabaceae), Mimosa albida (Fabaceae), Zea mays L. (Gramineae), Diphysacarthagenensis (Fabaceae), Quercus sp., (Fagaceae), Citrus sp., (Rutaceae), Cocos nucifera (Arecaceae), Mimosa sp., (Fabaceae), Mimosa pigra var. Berlandieri (Fabaceae), Eleocharis sp., (Cyperaceae), Rumex sp., (Polygonaceae), Eragrostis sp., (Poaceae), Spondiasradlkoferi (Anacardiaceae), Muntingiacalabura (Elaeocarpaceae), Asteraceae sp1, (Asteraceae), Borreriaverticillata (Rubiaceae), Coccolobaaff. Diversifolia (Polygonaceae), Quercusoleoides (Fagaceae). Overall honey samples from 22 multi-floral, 9 monofloral and 7 bifloral were classified. And when performing the PCA, two components that explain 65% of total variations were obtained, showing that Cardenas and Huimanguillo have affinity for Bursera simaruba L. (Burseraceae) and Cecropiaobtussifolia (Moraceae), instead Centro, Tacotalpa and Balancan share a preference for Mimosa albida (Fabaceae), Psidiumguajava (Myrtaceae) and Rumex sp. (Polygonaceae) and Centla showed a clear difference with the other 5 municipalities.
