Resumo
The objective of this investigation was to perform a multielemental characterization of the
pollen produced by Scaptotrigona aff Postiça Bee (popularly known as “tubi”). In recent
years, the demand for natural and healthy products has grown significantly and products from
Meliponiculture (creation of stingless bees) have started to be consumed on a larger scale in
Brazil. Specifically, pollen has gained prominence in the nutritional field for being a protein
source and rich in carbohydrates, lipids, mineral trace elements, fibers, hormones and
vitamins, but scientific research is still scarce, especially regarding studies of its specific
composition. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the content of inorganic elements
(multielemental analysis) in pollen from “tubi” bees. Pollen samples were collected during a
one year, in a meliponary of Barra do Corda city, in the state of Maranhão. The EDXRF
analyzes were carried out using an X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometer (X-123SDD, Amptek),
constituted by a Silicon detector coupled a mini X-ray tube (Ag). These data are the first
estimates of mineral trace elements in this natural product and provide benefits to beekeepers
regarding their characteristic specifications. In addition contributes with relevant data in the
nutritional field.
