Potential of Near Infrared Spectroscopy for Authenticity Testing of Unifloral Honey
نویسندگان
چکیده
321 honey samples from Switzerland were collected. The botanical authenticity of 176 honey samples was confirmed by the determination of electrical conductivity, sugar composition, pH-value, free acidity, and microscopical pollen analysis [2], as well as the sensory evaluation by three experts. The honey samples were assigned to one of the following groups: floral honeys from acacia (Robinia sp.), alpine rose (Rhododendron sp.), chestnut (Castanea sp.), dandelion (Taraxacum spp.), lime (Tilia spp.), rape (Brassica spp.), two types of honeydew honeys (fir and mixed honeydew), as well as polyfloral and alpine polyfloral honeys.

Determination by near-infrared spectroscopy of perseitol used as a marker for the botanical origin of avocado (Persea americana Mill.) honey.
This paper reports the application of near-infrared (NIR) reflectance spectroscopy to determine the concentration in honey of perseitol, a sugar that is specific to avocado honey. Reference values for perseitol were obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis in 109 honey samples. Although the average concentration of perseitol in honey samples was only 0.48%, accurate predictio...
متن کاملHoney & Honey Adulteration Detection: A Review
Honey is an ancient valuable food and in most cases has enchanted its consumers by its medic characteristics. It consists mainly of sugars but also contains some amounts of acids, nitrogenous compounds, phenolic contents, HMF, minerals and water. Honey composition according to the studied literature is mainly dependant on its floral source and differs in various honeys. Honey adulteration is a ...

Determination of forage quality of available species is one of the fundamentalfactors for the management of rangelands. Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS)was used to analysis the Nitrogen (N), Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF), Dry MatterDigestibility (DMD) and Metabolizable Energy (ME) content of three phenological stages(vegetative, flowering and seeding) of Bromus tomentellus samples in ...
متن کاملAuthentication of the botanical and geographical origin of honey by front-face fluorescence spectroscopy.
Front-face fluorescence spectroscopy, directly applied on honey samples, was used for the authentication of 11 unifloral and polyfloral honey types (n = 371 samples) previously classified using traditional methods such as chemical, pollen, and sensory analysis. Excitation spectra (220-400 nm) were recorded with the emission measured at 420 nm. In addition, emission spectra were recorded between...
متن کاملAuthentication of the botanical origin of honey by front-face fluorescence spectroscopy. A preliminary study.
The potential of front-face fluorescence spectroscopy for the authentication of unifloral and polyfloral honey types (n = 57 samples) previously classified using traditional methods such as chemical, pollen, and sensory analysis was evaluated. Emission spectra were recorded between 280 and 480 nm (excit: 250 nm), 305 and 500 nm (excit: 290 nm), and 380 and 600 nm (excit: 373 nm) directly on hon...
