Improved strategy based on QuEChERS method followed by HPLC/DAD for the quantification of phenolic compounds from Mimosa scabrella Bentham honeydew honeys

Sample preparation of honey for analysis of minor components as phenolic compounds is challenging, mainly due to the high sugar content. In this regard, a fast, simple and solvent saving method for extraction of phenolic compounds in Mimosa scabrella Bentham honeydew honeys was proposed. The method was based on QuEChERS, and the extraction, salting-out and clean-up steps were studied through univariate experiments. Solvent volume, solvent pH,...
