Measurement of Optical Parameters and Electrical Conductivity for Determining the Quality of Besuki Local Honey Using Spectrophotometer

Abstract

Honey is one of the foods that have been found in the world, consisting of natural sweet liquids, derived from flowers collected by honey bees. Honey is made from a mixture of complex, airborne, and most minor components that can be susceptible to counterfeiting. The components of honey can also be used by excessive storage for the manufacturing process or with inadequate storage. Determining the quality of honey is an important factor for producers. This study determines the quality of local honey based on optical parameter values. Determination of honey quality is based on optical parameters using a spectrophotometer to measure absorbance.

“…The color of honey samples was determined using the spectrophotometric method described by Misto et al [67] . The absorbance of pure honey samples was measured at 635 nm using an UV/VIS V650 spectrophotometer (Jasco).…”

“…The color of honey samples was determined using the spectrophotometric method described by Misto et al [67] The absorbance of pure honey samples was measured at 635 nm using an UV/VIS V650 spectrophotometer (Jasco). The color was determined using the Pfund scale after applying the following formula: The elution was performed using a mobile phase consisting of a mixture of acetonitrile: pure water in a ratio of 75 : 25 (v/v), at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min.…”
