Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopic and FTIR Analysis of Pure and Adulterated Tualang, Manuka, Royal and Kelulut Honey. Malaysian Journal of Chemistry (MJChem), 25 (3). pp. 173-183. (2023)
Abstract
Recently, honey adulteration has become a global issue as this fraudulent activity has increased due to increasing consumer demand for honey. The adulterated honey may adversely affect consumers and lead to many chronic diseases due to its high sugar content. One simple and easy method to determine honey authenticity is by using diffuse reflectance spectroscopic (DRS) analysis. The instrumentation setup consists of a light source, fiber-optic contact probes, and a spectrometer connected to a computer. The reflectance value shows a linear relationship with the percentage of sucrose. Therefore, DRS analysis shows the potential to discriminate between pure, adulterated honey and different sucrose concentrations.
