Fruit berries, such as goji berries, sea buckthorn, and black currant, are particularly rich in vitamins, phenolic compounds, and minerals, providing high nutritional and pharmacological value. Enrichment of rapeseed honey with dried fruits significantly increased total phenolic content, with the highest value observed in honey containing goji berries (111.221 \u00b1 20.551 mg GAE\/100 g), followed by black currant (96.477 \u00b1 31.053 mg GAE\/100 g) and sea buckthorn (90.724 \u00b1 19.72 mg GAE\/100 g), compared to control honey (49.681 \u00b1 14.44 mg GAE\/100 g). Antioxidant activity, assessed by multiple assays, was markedly enhanced in functional foods based on rape honey and dried fruits, particularly those with black currant, followed by goji berries and sea buckthorn. Romanian rapeseed honey contained phenolic acids such as gallic, chlorogenic, 4-hydroxybenzoic, and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acids, and flavonoids including quercetin and naringin. Functional food based on rape honey and goji berries (GBH) showed the highest levels of chlorogenic and gallic acids, epicatechin, and rutin, while functional food based on rape honey and sea buckthorn (SBH) was rich in naringin and resveratrol. Functional food based on rape honey and black currant (BCH) exhibited elevated gallic acid and rutin. Potassium and magnesium were the predominant minerals in all samples. Overall, berry enrichment enhances the nutritional and antioxidant profile of honey, supporting immune function and general health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules31050802","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,27]],"date-time":"2026-02-27T17:05:16Z","timestamp":1772211916000},"page":"802","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Polyphenolic and Mineral Composition of Functional Foods Based on Rape Honey and Dried Fruits"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4909-8574","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elisabeta-Irina","family":"Gean\u0103","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National R & D Institute for Cryogenics and Isotopic Technologies\u2014ICIT Rm.
