PYRROLIZIDINE ALKALOIDS: THE BOTANICAL ORIGIN OF POLLEN COLLECTED DURING THE FLOWERING PERIOD OF ECHIUM VULGARE AND THE STABILITY OF PYRROLIZIDINE ALKALOIDS IN BEE BREAD

Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids: The Botanical Origin of Pollen Collected during the Flowering Period of Echium vulgare and the Stability of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids in Bee Bread

Previous studies have shown that pollen products sold as nutritional supplements and used in apitherapy may contain toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) if bees collect pollen from PA-containing plants, such as Echium vulgare.In this study, the botanical origin of pollen from two observation sites was studied.Despite a high PA content in pollen samp
