DETERMINING SUCROSE CONCENTRATION IN HONEY BASED ON FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY

摘要

A method for determining sucrose concentration in honey. The method includes preparing a sample of honey, stimulating the sample by emitting a first laser beam on the sample in a first stimulation direction, detecting a fluorescence spectrum from a first fluorescence emission emitted from the sample in a first detection direction, detecting a first pair of fluorescence peaks and a second pair of peak wavelengths in the fluorescence spectrum, and determining a sucrose concentration based on one of the first pair and the second pair utilizing a database. The database includes a plurality of predetermined sucrose concentrations associated with the first pair or the second pair.
