Determination of the sugar content and their composition in honey allows a prediction about the origin of honey and determines how it should be labeled. Because of honey being one of the most popular natural food stuffs and its growing consumption, it is necessary to carry out quality control. The dedicated AZURA® Sugar Analytical System with autosampler upgrade is suitable for this application.
