Honey adulteration tests are essential to determine the purity and authenticity of honey, ensuring it is free from added sugars, syrups, or artificial ingredients. These tests help detect common adulterants like high-fructose corn syrup, rice syrup, or inverted sugar, which reduce honey’s nutritional and medicinal value. Laboratory analyses such as FTIR spectroscopy, isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), and HPLC are commonly used to identify adulteration accurately. In addition, physical tests like checking crystallization, viscosity, and aroma provide quick insights into quality. Reliable honey adulteration testing safeguards consumer health, supports honest trade, and maintains brand trust in the food industry.
