Authenticity Test for Honey Using δ¹³C Analysis (EA-IRMS)
Protect Your Brand with Advanced Honey Authentication
Honey is a premium natural product valued for both its health benefits and economic worth. Unfortunately, this also makes it a common target for adulteration—typically through the addition of cheap sugar syrups made from sugarcane or corn.
While counterfeit honey may look, taste, and feel like the real thing, its chemical fingerprint tells a different story. Genuine honey is derived from flower nectar collected by bees, and most nectar-producing plants follow the C3 photosynthesis pathway. This gives authentic honey a unique carbon isotope ratio  (δ13C)  . In contrast, adulterated honey contains syrups from C4 plants such as corn or sugarcane, which have a distinctly different isotope signature.
Our carbon isotope ratio analysis (δ13C) using EA-IRMS (Elemental Analyzer Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry) offers a precise and reliable way to verify honey authenticity. This method allows you to confidently distinguish natural, nectar-based honey from products contaminated with synthetic or plant-based syrups.
