Researchers investigated producing new certified reference materials (CRMs) for trace elements in honey. This study determined trace element levels in Acacia and Eucalyptus honey, paving the way for new CRMs for analytical laboratories.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Food Science
  • Reference Materials

Background:

  • Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) are crucial for accurate trace element analysis in food.
  • Existing CRMs for trace elements in honey are limited, necessitating the development of new materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility of producing and certifying new CRMs for trace elements in honey.
  • To determine the concentration of 10 trace elements in two types of honey (Acacia and Eucalyptus).

Main Methods:

  • Preparation of candidate honey materials (Acacia and Eucalyptus) with added deionized water.
  • Analysis of trace elements using inductively coupled plasma-based techniques.
  • Homogeneity assessment of the prepared aqueous honey solutions.

Main Results:

  • Quantified 10 trace elements in Acacia and Eucalyptus honey samples.
  • Provided average values and standard deviations for elements like Arsenic, Cadmium, Copper, Iron, and Zinc.
  • Established preliminary data for the development of new CRMs.

Conclusions:

  • The study demonstrates the feasibility of developing new CRMs for trace elements in honey.
  • Successful certification will provide valuable reference materials for National Reference Laboratories.
  • Further steps involve full certification in compliance with European Commission regulations.
