Honey is a complicated food to analyze. Because it is difficult to know from where, exactly, the bees get their nectar, it is difficult to label honey accurately. Some honeys claim to be unifloral, with distinct tastes and characteristics, but most are, in fact, polyfloral, made by bees that have collected nectar from a variety of sources. Researchers from ETH Zurich and the Swiss Bee Research Centre evaluated three types of spectroscopy for honey authentication. Several analytical methods exist for distinguishing between unifloral and polyfloral honeys, but they are time-consuming and...Read full article
