Real‐time quality authentication of honey using atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation mass spectrometry (APCI‐MS)

Summary The aim of this study was to use gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry ( GC ‐ MS ) and APCI ‐ MS techniques to detect adulteration in honey. The key volatile compounds in the headspace of the adulterated honey were marked by GC ‐ MS and their representative fragment ions were utilised in scanning honey samples using the real‐time APCI ‐ MS system. The PLS models validated using independent data sets resulted in coefficient of the...
