In this research, the effect of increasing the amount of Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) over time in fresh unifloral honey on the laser induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra has been investigated. In the proposed method a quantitative factor is introduced to discriminate LIF spectra of fresh and one-year-old unifloral honey which accurately measures the concentration of hydroxymethyl furfural content. The experimental results reveal that with this fast, accurate, non-destructive and low-cost approach we can distinguish fresh unifloral honeys of different botanical origin from their one-year sample.
Keywords: Unifloral honey, Freshness of Honey, laser induced fluorescence, HMF.
