Objectives

The main two objectives of the project Development and implementation of instrumental techniques for honey authentication and adulteration detection (PN-II-RU-TE-2014-4-0110) are: (1) development and implementation of instrumental methods for the honey authentication and (2) development and implementation of instrumental methods for the honey adulteration detection. These methods which will be applied are Raman spectrometry, electrochemical methods (“electronic tongue”) and rheometric and textural methods for the honey authentication (tilia, sunflower, acacia, polyfloral and honeydew honey types) and adulteration detection (of honeys adulterated with glucose, fructose, sucrose, malt must and hydrolysed concentration syrups).
