Article Synopsis
- A model was created to authenticate Yemeni Sidr honey using UV spectroscopy combined with chemometric methods such as hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), principal component analysis (PCA), and soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA).
- The model was developed with 13 genuine Sidr honey samples and tested against 25 honey samples from various sources, successfully distinguishing authentic Sidr from lower-cost alternatives.
- The SIMCA method accurately identified genuine Sidr honey and detected mixtures with cheaper honeys at levels greater than 10%, offering a simple and effective approach that could be applied to authenticate other honey types globally.
