This implies that honey and other beehive-based products could be contaminated, which would represent a potential risk to consumers and food safety. To determine the degree to which acaricides can be transferred from the stamped beeswax to the honey, a pilot experiment was designed consisting of placing beeswax that contained acaricides (endogenous content, τ-fluvalinate, chlorfenvinphos, and coumaphos; spiked samples, coumaphos) in contact with multifloral honey in an incubator. Temperature and shaking conditions were settled simulating beehive conditions. The isolation of the analytes from beeswax involved the use of a QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged & safe) method, and honey was analyzed through a solvent extraction procedure. Acaricides were determined in the resulting extracts by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry detection. Coumaphos was the only acaricide transferred into honey in beeswaxes with endogenous acaricide content; meanwhile, results of the experiments with spiked beeswax samples showed that the initial concentration present in the contaminated beeswax significantly influences the transfer to honey, as it was observed that in the spiked beeswax sheets with high levels of coumaphos, the migration from beeswax to honey arose. eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ © 2023 The Authors Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Apicultura Química analítica Evaluation of the potential migration of acaricides from stamped beeswax to honey simulating beehive conditions: a pilot study info:eu-repo/semantics/article
