The first part of the paper presents the detailed optimisation of all steps of the determination procedureof volatiles from Polish honeys by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) as the sample preparationmethod and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) as the method of final determination.The methodology of semi-quantative analysis allowed the isolation and identification of volatile fractioncompounds from popular Polish honeys, rape, acacia, linden, buckwheat, heather, polyfloral andhoney-dew. In the effect, it was possible to determine the series of compounds which may be the indicatorsof varieties and organoleptic quality of Polish honeys. Almost 200 compounds were identified, aliphaticand aromatic acids, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, phenols, terpenoids and derivatives of furan andpyran. Some of the compounds were found for the first time, but a significant number had already beenreported in many other papers.
