Abstract EN
This study aims at distinguishing honey based on botanical and geographical sources.
Different floral honey samples were collected from diverse geographical locations of Saudi Arabia.
UV spectroscopy in combination with chemometric analysis including Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Soft Independent Modeling of Class Analogy (SIMCA) were used to classify honey samples.
HCA and PCA presented the initial clustering pattern to differentiate between botanicalas well as geographical sources.
The SIMCA model clearly separated the Ziziphus sp.
and other monofloral honey samples based on different locations and botanical sources.
The results successfully discriminated the honey samples of different botanical and geographical sources validating the segregation observed using few physicochemical parameters that are regularly used for discrimination.
