Saranchuk I. Fatty acid composition and content of heavy metals in bee pollen and tissues of bees depending on ecologic conditions of environment

The object - biochemical features of accumulation of heavy metals and various forms of fatty acids in the pollen load, honeycomb and tissue of honeybees and heavy metals in natural floral honey. The aim is determine the biochemical mechanisms of action of ecological conditions of the environment on fatty acids composition and content of heavy metals in the pollen load, tissue of honeybees, honeycomb, and heavy metals in natural floral honey. Methods - biochemical (spectrographic method, chromatographic), statistics. Novelty - first studied content of heavy metals, unetherified and anionic forms of fatty acids and fatty acids of total lipids in the pollen load, honeycomb and tissue of honeybees, obtained from beehives located in areas near coal mines and еnrichment сombines and mining сombine and cement plant. Under such conditions was investigated the concentration of heavy metals in polyfloral and buckwheat honey. There were statistical confidence increased content of iron, zinc, copper, nickel and cadmium in the pollen load, tissue of honeybees and honeycomb obtained from beehives located in contaminated areas. Under these conditions pollen load, tissues of honeybees and honeycomb decreased level unetherified forms of fatty acids, but increased - anion forms, which leads to changes in content of fatty acids of total lipids.
