“…These methods are suited for preliminary, exploratory and qualitative analysis especially when no prior classifying information is available. Examples of such methods are: Examples of the use of clustering techniques in honey chemometrics can be found in [128,129]. In these individual pieces of research, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were identified in honey by using ultrasound-vortex-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction followed by a triple quadrupole gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (DLLME-GC-MS).…”

The application of chemometrics, a widely used science in food studies (and not only food studies) has begun to increase in importance with chemometrics being a very powerful tool in analyzing large numbers of results. In the case of honey, chemometrics is usually used for assessing honey authenticity and quality control, combined with well-established analytical methods. Research related to investigation of the quality changes in honey due to modifications after processing and storage is rare, with a visibly increasing tendency in the last decade (and concentrated on investigating novel methods to preserve the honey quality, such as ultrasound or high-pressure treatment). This review presents the evolution in the last few years in using chemometrics in analyzing honey quality during processing and storage. The advantages of using chemometrics in assessing honey quality during storage and processing are presented, together with the main characteristics of some well-known chemometric methods. Chemometrics prove to be a successful tool to differentiate honey samples based on changes of characteristics during storage and processing.

“…MAE, a relatively cheaper extraction method than SFE, involves application of electromagnetic waves-based thermal radiation energy with a unique heating mechanism for selective extraction of PAHs. In addition, the ultrasound/vortex-assisted extraction (UAE) method is also adopted along with the other extraction techniques [ 32 , 33 ], which utilizes ultrasound cavitation effect to accelerate solvent mobility resulting in a high mass transfer rate through enhanced solvent penetration. After extraction, the extract is usually purified by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), column chromatography with a suitable stationary phase, or solid phase extraction using adsorbents [ 11 , 16 ].…”

“…Among the various GC columns, DB-5 MS capillary column is used most often for determination of 16 EPA priority PAHs in different food samples [ 15 , 32 , 40 – 45 ], with the analysis time ranging from 30.5 to 78.0 min, while with a HP-5MS column, the analysis time can be reduced to 21.0–23.0 min. Nevertheless, some other GC columns are also used for determination of 4–45 PAHs in different food samples with the analysis time ranging from 19 to 93.1 min [ 27 , 28 , 33 , 46 – 49 ].…”

“…In a later study, an ultrasound-vortex-assisted DLLME (USVA-DLLME) method combined with a GC–MS method was employed for simultaneous determination of 22 PAHs in 57 honey samples in Italy by using a DB-XLB column (60 m × 0.25 mm ID, film thickness 0.25 μm) and hydrogen as carrier gas at 3 mL/min with the injector and MS temperature at 250 °C and 290 °C respectively [ 33 ]. Following sample preparation by the USVA-DLLME method, all the 22 PAHs were separated within 41.5 min with a relatively lower recovery from 35 to 106% being shown as well as a higher sensitivity in terms of LOD (0.02–0.06 ng/g) and LOQ (0.07–0.15 ng/g) when compared to the above method.…”

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a class of harmful and persistent organic contaminant, are widely distributed in the environment and eventually accumulated in water and food. Also, they are formed in different varieties and varying amounts during processing of food depending on the food composition, cooking method and processing condition. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), various PAHs are classified under Group 1 to 3 category, with Group 1 designated as carcinogenic to humans, Group 2A as probable carcinogen, Group 2B as possible carcinogen and Group 3 as noncarcinogenic. Therefore, it is imperative to develop rapid and highly sensitive analytical methods for determination of PAHs in food and water. This article aims to overview the recent advances of various chromatographic methods as well as electrochemical and SERS-based optical sensing methods for analysis of PAHs in food and water. Initially, several conventional sample preparation methods along with the advanced extraction for isolation of PAHs were summarized, followed by reviewing various gas chromatographic methods coupled with various detection techniques for PAHs analysis in various food products including meat/meat products, seafood, oil, milk/milk products, baby foods, honey, vegetable, cocoa products, tea/coffee, juice, rice, flour, noodle and cake. In addition, high performance liquid chromatographic methods coupled with fluorescence, diode array or mass/tandem mass detection techniques as well as an emerging supercritical fluid chromatographic technique employed for determination of PAHs in different food and water matrices were also overviewed. Finally, various electrochemical sensors and SERS-based optical sensors developed recently for onsite detection of PAHs were tabulated and discussed. Thus, this review article can provide a research update on chromatography and sensor-based analytical methods for PAH analysis as well as enable elucidation of research gaps for future studies.

“…This approach can be used to assess the combined pollution risk of multiple types of heavy metals to the ecological system. Additionally, multivariate data statistical is a proper supplementary method to identify anthropogenic contamination profiles and possible sources in a highly polluted environment (Dong et al, 2018; Zhang et al, 2020; Passarella et al, 2022). For instance, principal components analysis (PCA) simplifies the visualization of complex data sets for exploratory analysis and is used to determine the relationship between the contaminants in the sediment and their potential sources (Du et al, 2019; Camacho et al, 2020).…”

Multiple methods consisting of geographic information system (GIS) technique, enrichment factor (EF), potential ecological risk index (PEI) and multivariate statistical methods was developed to identify anthropogenic heavy metal sources in marine sediments of Hong Kong. The distributions of heavy metals in sediments have been analyzed, and their pollution degrees, corresponding potential ecological risks and source identifications have been studied using geo-accumulation index, potential ecological risk index and integrated multivariate statistical methods, respectively. Three different types of anthropogenic inputs could be identified via multivariate analysis. Acoording to the findings, the first principal component might originate from industrial discharges and shipping activities. The second principal component were identified from natural sources. The third component mainly from municipal discharges and industrial wastewater. These results provide baseline information for both the coastal environment management and the worldwide heavy metal distribution and assessment.
