To enhance the power of untargeted detection, a "turn-off" fluorescent probe with double quantum dots (QDs) was developed and coupled with chemometrics for rapid detection of multiple adulterants in an herbal (Rhus chinensis Mill., RCM) honey. The double water-soluble ZnCdSe-CdTe QDs have two separate and strong fluorescent peaks, which can be quenched by honey and extraneous adulterants with varying degrees. Class models of pure RCM honey samples collected from 6 different producing areas (n = 122) were developed using one-class partial least squares (OCPLS). Four extraneous adulterants, including glucose syrup, sucrose syrup, fructose syrup, and glucose-fructose syrup were added to pure honey samples at the levels of 0.5% to 10% (w/w). As a result, the OCPLS model using the second-order derivative (D2) spectra could detect 1.0% (w/w) of different syrups in RCM honey, with a sensitivity of 0.949. The double water-soluble QDs, which can be adjusted for analysis of other water-soluble food samples, has largely extended the capability of traditional fluorescence and will provide a potentially more sensitive and specific analysis method for food frauds.

Rationale: The distribution of rape honey is among the largest and most diverse of all honeys available to humankind with respect to the geographical origin. Accurate isotopic reference values for rape honey are therefore important for precise verification of honey origin and its traceability. New combined rape honey δ C, δ H, and δ O values in combination with values on its compounds (protein and saccharides) were used to complement existing databases to better identify the geographical origin of Chinese rape honey.

Rationale: Liquid chromatography/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (LC/IRMS) has been used to authenticate and trace products such as honey, wine, and lemon juice, and compounds such as caffeine and pesticides. However, LC/IRMS has several disadvantages, including the high cost of the CO membrane and blocking by solidified sodium persulfate. Here, we developed an improved system for determining carbon isotope ratios using LC/IRMS.

Rationale: This paper investigates the validity of the transfer of a liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method for the determination of veterinary medicinal products in honey and compares it with an LC/linear ion trap/Orbitrap mass spectrometry method. A descriptive statistical approach was used in order to assess whether such a transfer would succeed or fail. This approach is based on the simultaneous evaluation of the trueness and of the intermediate precision for each compound at a 95% interval of confidence of both analytical techniques.

Rationale: Neonicotinoid pesticides and their metabolites have been indicated as contributing factors in the decline of honey bee colonies. A thorough understanding of neonicotinoid toxicity requires knowledge of their metabolites and environmental breakdown products. This work investigated the rapid degradation of the neonicotinoid nitenpyram in finished drinking water.
