Abstract Quantitation of oligosaccharide-bound galactose by galactose oxidase treatment of the higher sugar fraction is useful to screen honeys with normal stable carbon isotope ratio values for the presence of beet sugar products. For 23 beet sugar products tested, the mean bound galactose value was 30.1 mg/100 g (as galactose); for 81 honeys, the mean was 3.1 mg/100 g, s = 4.4. Nine percent of the honey samples tested had values in the beet sugar range, so additional testing by other procedures is required for confirmation of adulteration, i.e., samples with 8-80 mg/100 g bound galactose should be further tested.

Abstract Using the difference in stable carbon isotope ratio between a honey and its protein fraction permits objective evaluation of possible adulteration of honey with small amounts (7-20%) as well as larger amounts of corn or cane sugar. The present uncertainty in interpretation of results from pure honeys with 5,3C values outside the generally accepted limits for pure honey of —27.5%o to —23.5%o is eliminated; likewise TLC testing to resolve questionable samples with 5n C values between —23.5 and —21.5%o is not needed. Fifty certified samples of pure honey were used to establish criteria for purity, and 38 other samples with δ13C values in the “questionable” or “adulterated” range for the AOAC official method were tested. A difference of 1.0%o or more between honey and protein fractions is proposed to indicate adulteration.
