Abstract:The quality of honey,a natural raw material widely used in food,cosmetics,pharmaceuticals,healthcare products,and other fields,has attracted much attention.Because pre-market monitoring and evaluation lack effectiveness,the quality of honey in the market varies greatly,which not only reduces consumers′ trust in honey but also affects its utilization.In order to enhance the standardization of the honey market and consumer trust,and strengthen the quality control and regulation of honey,this paper focused on honey authenticity and quality testing,highlighting the advantages and limitations of various identification techniques such as chromatography,spectroscopy,mass spectrometry,and electrochemical methods,aiming to provide a technical screening basis for different consumer groups and application scenarios.In addition,the paper looked forward to the future development of honey quality testing technology,aiming to provide theoretical value for safeguarding the quality of honey,maintaining consumer health,and promoting stable competition in the market.
