Abstract
Honey is one of the most valuable and expensive nutrition due to its health effects on human body. In recent years, honey adulteration has become an important problem and is a subject of many publications. There exists various analytical methods for determination of honey adulteration with 13C/12C isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IR-MS) being the most common. However, one of the recent studies indicates that different honey types depending on geographical and botanical origin may have significantly different 13C/12C isotope ratios rendering this method questionable. Thus, development of an analytical method for qualitative and quantitative determination of forgery and adulteration of honey without tedious and complicated sample preparation while being relatively simple and fast new analytical methods became a must. In this study, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy coupled with Attenuated Total Reflectance and Fourier Transform Near Infrared spectroscopy based chemometrics multivariate calibration models were developed for the quantitative determination of honey adulteration. To simulate adulteration scenarios, artificially adulterated honey samples were prepared by adding beet sugar, corn syrup, glucose and sucrose with various concentrations to pure honey samples. Two different multivariate calibration methods namely Genetic Inverse Least Squares and Partial Least Squares were used and the applicability of these methods have been evaluated with an independent validations and test set composed of FTIR spectra of more than 100 pure honey samples along with the adulterated samples. Standard error of cross validation and standard error of prediction values for honey content of the samples were found 2.52% and 2.19% (w/w %), respectively.
