Comparison of various signal processing techniques and spectral regions for the direct determination of syrup adulterants in honey

Due to the growing demand of honey, the addition of adulterants to pure honey has become more common. This poster, presented at the SelectScience^® Virtual Analytical Science Summit 2022, explores the utility of a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance accessory (ATR-FTIR), and PLS chemometric technique to simultaneously determine the concentrations of corn, cane, beet, and rice syrup adulterants in honey.
