“…Raman spectroscopy techniques complement information obtained from infrared spectral data and can be used in honey authenticity assessment [287]. Raman spectroscopy, performed using fiber optics, was successfully used to distinguish the botanical origin of unifloral (chestnut, citrus, and acacia) honeys produced in the Italian region of Calabria [292].…”

“…The blending of expensive (pure and rare) honey with a cheaper (pure and plentiful) one is another form of honey adulteration. NMR spectroscopy allows the rapid detection of adulterants in honey, as well as the simultaneous quantification of various chemical compounds from a spectrum [287]. For example, 1 H NMR spectroscopy combined with chemometric techniques was applied to detect and quantify adulteration of acacia honey with cheaper rape honey [293].…”

“…However, due to its high economic value, it is often subject to adulteration. The most common adulterants in honey are sugars from high-fructose corn syrup, corn sugar syrup, inverted sugar syrup, and cane sugar syrup [287]. Adulteration of honey is not limited to direct addition of sugars into natural honey.…”

Animal origin food products, including fish and seafood, meat and poultry, milk and dairy foods, and other related products play significant roles in human nutrition. However, fraud in this food sector frequently occurs, leading to negative economic impacts on consumers and potential risks to public health and the environment. Therefore, the development of analytical techniques that can rapidly detect fraud and verify the authenticity of such products is of paramount importance. Traditionally, a wide variety of targeted approaches, such as chemical, chromatographic, molecular, and protein-based techniques, among others, have been frequently used to identify animal species, production methods, provenance, and processing of food products. Although these conventional methods are accurate and reliable, they are destructive, time-consuming, and can only be employed at the laboratory scale. On the contrary, alternative methods based mainly on spectroscopy have emerged in recent years as invaluable tools to overcome most of the limitations associated with traditional measurements. The number of scientific studies reporting on various authenticity issues investigated by vibrational spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and fluorescence spectroscopy has increased substantially over the past few years, indicating the tremendous potential of these techniques in the fight against food fraud. It is the aim of the present manuscript to review the state-of-the-art research advances since 2015 regarding the use of analytical methods applied to detect fraud in food products of animal origin, with particular attention paid to spectroscopic measurements coupled with chemometric analysis. The opportunities and challenges surrounding the use of spectroscopic techniques and possible future directions will also be discussed.

“…5 Honey is a widely used food that is produced by honeybees from the sugary secretions of plants. 6 In recent years, many investigations have shown that honey has medical benefits, especially as an antimicrobial agent, and its use is strongly recommended. 7 However, during honey harvest, pesticides can be used for the treatment of plague in the hive resulting in the possible contamination of honey.…”

BACKGROUND A new type of deep eutectic solvent based on three components using phosphate salts has been synthesized, characterized, and applied in the extraction of eight organothiophosphate pesticides from honey samples. In this study, the deep eutectic solvent was prepared from phosphocholine choline chloride as a hydrogen bond acceptor and dichloroacetic acid and decanoic acid as hydrogen bond donors. The method consisted of two steps in which initially the analytes were extracted from the samples into a water‐miscible organic solvent. In the second step, the extracted phase was mixed with the prepared deep eutectic solvent and the mixture was used in the following dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction method. RESULTS The method was validated under optimal conditions, and it was found that it has low limits of detection (0.05–0.10 ng g−1) and quantification (0.19–0.36 ng g−1), good linearity (r2 ≥ 0.994), broad linearity (0.36–1000 ng g−1), and satisfactory repeatability (relative standard deviation ≤10% for intra‐ (n = 6) and inter‐day (n = 4) precisions at a concentration of 2 ng g−1 of each analyte). CONCLUSION The proposed method was applied in different honey samples, and malathion was found at a concentration of 29 ng g−1 in one sample. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry
