Analysis of dibutyl phthalate and oleamide in stingless bee honey harvested from plastic cups

Increasing demands for stingless bee honey in Malaysia have prompted alternative method using plastic cups as artificial honey pots within beehives to enhance yield. However, honey’s acidity may lead to migration of plastic additives, affecting body’s physiological responses on prolonged consumption...
