The volatile profiles of 43 authentic honey samples of different botanical and geographical origins were obtained by means of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A qualitative analysis of the volatile compounds identified was performed in order to assess the marker compounds (if/when existing) for both botanical and geographical origin. The results seem to indicate the existence of certain marker compounds for the floral origins assessed (e.g. acacia, chestnut, eucalyptus, heather, lavender, lime, rape, rosemary and sunflower). Also such compounds for two geographical origins (e.g. Denmark and England) seem to exist and possible marker compounds could also be found for the honeys from The Netherlands, Spain and Portugal.
