Analysis of Electrochemical Impedance Spectra for the Sensitive Detection of Sucrose and Maltose Additives in Honey
摘要
In this work it is demonstrated that electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a promising and reliable method for detecting additives in honey. A prototype device based on ADuCM355 microcontroller and low-cost immersion electrodes is developed and its feasibility for detection of sucrose and maltose in two different commercially sourced brands of honey is reported. It is shown that any change in sugar composition in honey due to the addition of sucrose and maltose has a profound influence on the impedance spectrum of honey. The impedance of honey samples with and without additives can be measured accurately in the frequency range of 1 Hz to 200 kHz, with a precision of 1
