Challenges in preparing honey samples for chromatographic determination of contaminants and trace residues

The determination of contaminations and residues in honey is of growing concern over past few years, especially that these compounds can not only diminish beneficial properties of honey but more importantly, if present in significant amounts, can pose serious threat to human health. Since honey is characterized by complex composition of the matrix sample, it is often necessary to apply clean-up step, in order to eliminate interfering compounds, prior to analysis. In this paper honey chemical composition and some medical properties are briefly discussed and main sources of honey contaminations are pointed. The need of extensive sample preparation, including extraction and clean-up is discussed.
