Resumo
Brazil is one of the largest suppliers of bee products in the world. It is currently the 5th largest exporter of
honey and derivatives and a significant part of its production originates from the south and northeast.
Specifically, the species Scaptotrigona aff. Postica, from the region of Barra do Corda in the State of
Maranhão (MA), produces pollen which is one of the main activities of the local economy (food
supplement). However, there are no data on its mineral composition, although there is a history of
applications in the nutritional field. In this context, this research aims to generate integrated and
interdisciplinary knowledge of the pollen produced by this pollinating species, through multi-element
investigation (identification and quantification of chemical elements) using the Energy Dispersive X-ray
Fluorescence (XRF) technique. The elemental composition of pollen emphasizes its nutritional relevance
(Ca, Cl, Fe, K, Mn and P) and the results of the concentrations showed little seasonal variation, serving as
a model for the safe expansion of meliponiculture in the region. In the technological sphere, this analysis is
a tool for tracking (provenance), which allows the identification of fraud and/or adulteration, in addition to
adding quality control to its commercialization.
