Popis: In this study, a new technique was used in order to detect honeybee’s authenticity. Pure honey and adulterated honey were characterized by using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). To prepare the adulterated honey, sugar adulterants (glucose) was diluted into pure honey. The adulterant concentration is measured by 2% and 4% adulteration with 0% adulteration represents as the reference for pure honey. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy was used to identify the absorbance of the honey with different solvents. Further research is still needed to test various combinations of methods to improve accuracy and the ability to simultaneously detect a wide range of adulterants in order to develop a portable test kit.
