Sažetak: Na području Zapadne Srbije izuzetno je zastupljena proizvodnja meda na konvencionalni način. Uprkos prednostima koje donosi organska proizvodnja meda, pčelari se ipak, ne odlučuju na taj korak, bez obzira na teškoće sa plasmanom na inostrano tržište. Osim neospornih nutritivnih vrednosti, med proizveden na konvencionalni način, uz upotrebu agrotehničkih mera i primenu široke palete proizvoda za tretiranje bolesti pčela, u svom sastavu vrlo često sadrži i ostatke opasnih hemijskih jedinjenja, pesticida i antibiotika. Istraživanje je vršeno na području Zapadne Srbije. Obuhvaćeno je pet proizvođača meda, dva koja proizvodnju vrše na organski način i tri sa konvencionalnim načinom rada. Nakon osmatranja terena i pčelinjaka, intervjuisanja proizvođača, uzeti su uzorci meda. Po izvršenim analizama, konstantovano je da je jedan uzorak iz konvencionalne proizvodnje nebezbedan za ljudsku upotrebu, jer sadrži ostatke pesticida - amitraza. Abstract: Conventional method of honey production is widely spread in the area of western Serbia. Despite the advantages of honey production in an organic manner, beekeepers are still hesitant to take this step, regardless of the difficulties with placement of such honey on the foreign market, so their products are mainly sold on the domestic market. Besides the undeniable nutritional value, honey produced in the conventional way with proper use of agro technical measures and implementation of the wide range of products in the treatment of bee diseases, in its composition very often contain residues of hazardous chemical compounds, pesticides, antibiotics. Research on four qualitative differences of the content of certain substances between the conventional and organic honey producers has been conducted in western Serbia. The research obtained five manufacturers, out of which two were engaged in organic manner of production, while the remaining three dealt with the conventional honey production. After examining the area and the apiaries in question, interviews with honeybee producers, the sampling of honey took place. Upon performed analysis, it was concluded that one conventionally produced sample of honey was not safe for human consumption, due to presence of pesticides. info:eu-repo/semantics/article Ivanović, Marina Zlatanović, Snežana Paunović, Dušanka Stanković, Veroslava Rajković, Miloš Janković, Saša Galonja-Coghill, Tamara 2021 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode Analiza uzoraka organski proizvedenog meda i meda proizvedenog na konvencionalni način na području Zapadne Srbije Sample analysis of organically produced honey and conventionally produced honey in Western Serbia application/pdf 744069 bytes Ključne reči: pčelarstvo; med; organsko pčelarenje; ostaci; pesticidi; amitraz Keywords: beekeeping, honey, organic beekeeping, residues, pesticides, amitraz Zastita materijala volume: 62 number: 1 startpage: 22 endpage: 33 srp https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:5821 doi:10.5937/zasmat2101022I
