Abstract:The purpose of this study was to quickly and accurately identify honey and syrup using physical and chemical parameters. Using 17 kinds of honey and 10 kinds of syrup from the northern area as materials, the physical and chemical parameters, such as water content, protein content, molecular weight range, and monosaccharide content ratio, were used to analyze the similarities. In order to improve the resolution of fructose and glucose, an aminopropyl column was applied in this study. The results showed that pH value, polyphenol content, and flavones content were not different. The water contents of 17 kinds of honey were 15.13%-19.88% while the water contents of 10 kinds of syrup were 22.13%-28.50%. The ratios of fructose and glucose of different honey samples and syrup samples were 0.95-1.50 and 0.13-2.80. The protein contents of honey samples were 1.12-5.09μg/g and the molecular weight range was 45.0-116.0kDa. However, the syrup did not have protein. The combination of protein content determination and protein molecular weight assays enhance the persuasiveness of identifying true and false honey through proteins. The moisture content, relative content of fructose/glucose, protein content and molecular weight of protein can be used as indicators of adulteration, and provide the theoretical basis for the identification of honey adulteration.
