Accumulation of soluble menaquinones MK-7 in honey coincides with death of Bacillus spp. present in honey

Highlights • In stored honeys, bacterial composition consists mainly of Bacillus spp.• MK-7 and MK-8 were predominant menaquinones produced by the residing bacteria.• MK-7 and MK-8 were predominant menaquinones extracted from honey.• MKs identification was based on UHPLC–ESI-MS/MS and quadrupole orbitrap.• Maximal accumulation of soluble MK-7 coincides with a massive cell death of Bacillus spp.• Bacterial cell death and lysis is a likely mechanism of the MK-7 release to honey.
