Potential of High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Ultraviolet Detection (HPLC-UV) Fingerprints to Assess the Geographical Production Origin and Authenticity of Honey

Honey is a widely appreciated and consumed natural product which is highly susceptible to fraudulent practices involving different sample attributes such as the botanical species or the geographical production regions, as well as possible adulterations. In the present work, the potential of non-targ...

In the present work, the potential of non-targeted HPLC-UV fingerprints as honey chemical descriptors to assess their geographical origin authentication involving a high number of samples belonging to nine different countries (and 4 continents) was evaluated by partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA).

The best classification performance for 157 honey samples produced in 9 countries was accomplished when HPLC-UV fingerprints were submitted to a classification decision tree performed by consecutive PLS-DA models built using hierarchical model builder (HMB), with sensitivity and specificity values (for calibration and cross-validation) higher than 87.5 and 78.6%, respectively, and with classification errors below 17.0%.

Japanese samples showed the worse prediction errors (37.5%) as the “unknown” samples used were mostly misclassified as Chinese samples. Elsevier B.V.2025info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2445/217969Articles publicats en revistes (Enginyeria Química i Química Analítica)reponame:Dipòsit Digital de la UBinstname:Universidad de BarcelonaInglésVersió postprint del document publicat a: https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1016/j.microc.2025.112669Microchemical Journal, 2025, vol. 209https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1016/j.microc.2025.112669cc-by-nc-nd (c) Elsevier B.V., 2025http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessoai:diposit.ub.edu:2445/2179692026-05-27T06:46:51Z
