Content of new-built bee combs - indicator of ecologic pureness of the environment

I. I. Saranchuk, J. F. Rivis

In bee's combs, obtained from hives, that were situated in ecological contaminated territories decreases amount of non-etherified fatty acids with paired and non-paired number of carbon atoms in chain, monounsaturated fatty acids of n-7 and n-9 group, as well as polyunsaturated fatty acids of n-3 and n-6 group. However, increases total amount of anionic forms of saturated fatty acids with paired and non-paired number of carbon atoms in chain, monounsaturated fatty acids of n-7 and n-9 group, as well as polyunsaturated fatty acids of n-3 and n-6 group. This leads to decreasing of assay of saturated fatty acids with non-paired number of carbon atoms in chain, monounsaturated fatty acids of n-7 and n-9 group, as well as polyunsaturated fatty acids of n-3 and n-6 group in bee's combs, which were situated in ecological contaminated territories. Most intensively is decreasing amount of non-etherified forms of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, and, reversively, increases concentration of anionic forms of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids in bee's combs, that were obtained from hives, that were situated on territories with intensive traffic and working industrial factories.
