In particular, main objective this study distinguish unifloral multifloral produced neighboring regions, such as Sardinia (Italy) Spain. The compositions 247 were determined using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry...
In recent years, honey-producing sector has faced the increasing presence of adulterated honeys, implying great economic losses and questioning quality this highly appreciated product by society. Due to high sugar content honey, syrups are among its most common adulterants, being also difficult detect even with isotope ratio techniques depending on origin syrup plant source. work, a honey authentication method based HPLC-UV fingerprinting was developed, exhibiting 100% classification rate...
