INTEGRATION OF BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF POLLEN INTO FOOD SAFETY STANDARDS

In the current context of global challenges related to food security and climate change, bee pollen loads are considered not only as a traditional beekeeping product but also as a promising functional ingredient in food systems. Their multi-component composition – proteins, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants – forms high biological value. However, the integration of pollen loads into food safety standards requires consideration of their biochemical characteristics and potential contamination risks.
