In addition to its traditional use, it is also employed for other purposes due to its biological and nutraceutical properties. Although honey production is mostly associated with bees of the genus Apis, species from other genera, such as Melipona, also produce it, albeit on a smaller scale. The honey produced by these two genera shows significant differences in its composition. Moreover, distinct geographical localizations, which, consequently, have different flora, guide the chemical compositions of these samples. Regarding the Amazon region, the amount of knowledge about the honey samples from Melipona species is still scarce. In this context, the present study aimed to characterize the volatile compositions of honey from Melipona interrupta and Melipona seminigra, as well as from the floral sources available, in addition to evaluating their nutritional aspects, antioxidant activity, and antibacterial activity. The analysis of chemical composition was performed using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH and ABTS assays, while antimicrobial activity was tested against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis, Salmonella enterica, Serratia marcescens, Bacillus subtilis, Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, and Candida parapsilosis. The results allowed the identification of volatiles present in the honey and floral sources. The samples displayed moderate antioxidant activity and slightly antibacterial activity (MIC) of 75 \u03bcg\/mL against two bacterial strains tested, demonstrating potential antimicrobial activity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/plants14142106","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,10]],"date-time":"2025-07-10T07:38:27Z","timestamp":1752133107000},"page":"2106","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Nutritional Composition, Volatile Profiles, and Biological Evaluation of Honeys from Melipona interrupta and Melipona seminigra from Amazonas State, Brazil"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9866-6342","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emilly J.
