Forty samples of monovarietal dark honeys, from four botanical origins, were analysed for their amino acids’ proﬁle (which included proline) and their colour. In order to test for their botanical classiﬁcation stepwise linear discriminant analysis was applied to a number of variables made from a selection of analytical results and simple mathematical functions of them. This allowed, ﬁrstly, distinguishing honeys from these four botanical sources with 85.0% cross-validated grouped cases correctly classiﬁed. A second application was made for the group of honeydew honeys—a matter of particular interest since no chemical or microscopic method exists for the honeys from holm oak and oak. Ninety-ﬁve percent of the cross-validated samples were correctly classiﬁed, only one sample was misclassiﬁed.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
