Detection of honey adulteration with starch syrup by high performance liquid chromatography

Determination of honey adulteration with beet sugar and corn syrup using infrared spectroscopy and genetic‐algorithm‐based multivariate calibration

“…Chromatographic methods have also been used to determine sugar composition, and these analytical methods have generally been coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) such as gas chromatography-MS and high-performance liquid chromatography-MS. Furthermore, gas chromatography 6,7 and high-performance liquid chromatography [8][9][10][11][12][13] are also used to detect adulterated honey samples. Moreover, carbon isotope ratio (C 12 /C 13 ) analysis [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] (IR-MS) is used as a standard technique to detect the presence of artificial sweeteners in honey.…”

The application of stable isotope ratio analysis to determine the geographical origin of wheat

“…The carbon isotopic composition of plant materials strongly depends on the carbon fixation process such as the C-3, C-4 or crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) cycle (Guler et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2015). Different photosynthesis pathway of plants presents biological discrimination effect on the carbon fixation process, which can cause the difference of 12 C/ 13 C in different kinds of plants, resulting in the d 13 C values of plants in C-3 cycle and C-4 cycle were À22‰ to À33‰ and À10‰ to À20‰, respectively, while that of plants in CAM cycle was wider.…”

The validity of an x-ray scatter approach for the detection of olive oil adulteration

“…Among the detected food adulterations around the globe were the adulteration of powdered milk with melamine powder (Daniel et al, 2017;Ezhilan et al, 2017;Moncayo et al, 2017). This type of adulteration was said to cause many serious health problems such as the formation of kidney stones, kidney failure and bladder cancer (Anjos et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2015;Wu et al, 2017). A widely spread beef meat adulteration with illegal meats was also discovered (Cheng et al, 2016;Nunes et al, 2016;Al-Kahtani et al, 2017;Meira et al, 2017).…”
