The Lightnovo miniRaman spectrometer showcases its advanced capabilities in the analysis of honey and syrups, providing a compact and efficient solution for differentiating high-sucrose products like sugar syrups from low-sucrose or natural sweeteners such as honey. This application note demonstrates how miniRaman is a reliable tool for ensuring the authenticity and quality of liquid sweet food products.
Samples Analyzed with the miniRaman spectrometer:
- Natural Bee Honey: A late summer honey sourced from Denmark, with a sucrose content of ≤5%.
- Maple Syrup: A commercially available product made with natural sugar substitutes like sorbitol, erythritol, and steviol glycosides.
- Sweet Syrup: Another commercial syrup using the same natural sweeteners as maple syrup.
- Sugar Syrup: A homemade sucrose solution consisting of water and white sugar.
Using the miniRaman spectrometer, these samples were analyzed with minimal preparation, demonstrating its ability to differentiate between complex compositions and detect potential adulteration. This makes the miniRaman an essential tool for quality control and product authentication in the food industry.
