Spectroscopy Identifies Botanical and Geographic Origins of Honey
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...
