Detection of sugar adulteration of honey using a new, highly robust LC-IRMS technique

Adulteration of honey with sugar syrups from C3 plants (beet and rice), but also with C4 plant sugars, can be detected by determining the δ¹³C values of fructose, glucose, and higher saccharides in honey using liquid chromatography in combination with stable carbon isotope ratio mass spectrometry (LC-IRMS).

This Application Note presents honey adulteration analysis with our BiovisION Honey LC-IRMS solution dedicated to honey adulteration detection.
