Detection of Honey Adulteration Using UV–Vis Absorption Spectroscopy and Chemometrics
This preliminary study demonstrates the use of ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) absorption spectroscopy coupled with chemometric modeling to detect and quantify honey adulteration. UV–vis spectra of pure honey and samples experimentally adulterated with corn, agave, and date syrups were collected within the 200–500 nm rang...
