摘要

This study proposes a fast and non-destructive method for the authentication of commercial honey samples using mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy combined with one-class classification algorithms. A total of 87 honey samples (19 unadulterated and 68 adulterated), seized by the Brazilian Federal Police, were analyzed. These samples were previously authenticated by the isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) reference method. An exploratory analysis by principal component analysis (PCA) revealed clear spectral differences between unadulterated and adulterated samples, highlighting the fingerprint region (1500–750 cm−1) as the most informative spectral interval for authenticity assessment. One-class classification models were developed using Data-Driven Soft Independent Modeling of Class Analogy (DD-SIMCA) and One-Class Partial Least Squares (OC-PLS). The DD-SIMCA and OC-PLS models demonstrated excellent performance, achieving 100% sensitivity in the training set and 100% sensitivity and specificity in the test set. These results highlight the potential of MIR combined with DD-SIMCA and OC-PLS as a robust and reliable approach for assessing honey authenticity.
