Developing a new testing methodology for honey authentication - Research finder

Abstract:: The aim of this project was to investigate a) the suitability of Spatially offset Raman Spectroscopy (SORS), a non-invasive technique used to acquire measurements through packaging, for detecting the type and percentage of exogenous sugar adulteration in honey and b) to develop DNA markers (DNA barcoding) to identify the presence of DNA from plant sources such as rice and sugar beet which are used for making sugar syrups used for honey adulteration
