Abstract
⺠The stability of erythromycin A (EA) in honey was studied. ⺠EA degraded rapidly in honey stored at hive temperature (35 °C) or room temperature. ⺠The half-life of EA was less than one day at 35 °C and less than three days at 22 °C. ⺠The major degradation product was anhydroerythromycin A. ⺠The parent drug EA is itself not a suitable marker residue for food safety testing.
