This study develops a method for the discrimination and prediction of honey samples from various botanical origins. The method was based on the nontargeted volatile profiles obtained by solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC/MS) combined with chemometrics. The blind analysis of nontargeted volatile profiles was carried out by SPME-GC/MS for 87 authentic ho...
