Embodiment 1

[0050] Example 1 Establishment of liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry methods for oligosaccharides

[0051] Standards and reagents used in this embodiment are: maltotriose, maltotetraose, maltopentaose, maltohexaose and maltoheptaose with a purity greater than 99.9%, purchased from Aldich-Sigma Company; experimental acetonitrile (chromatographically pure) Purchased from Merck Company of Germany; formic acid (chromatographically pure) was purchased from TEDIA Company of the United States.

[0052] Accurately weigh an appropriate amount of oligosaccharide standard substance, make a 1.0 mg / mL standard stock solution with water, and store it in the refrigerator at 4 °C. Dilute with acetonitrile water (1+1 v / v) to a working solution with a concentration of 100 μg / ml.

[0053] 1. Establishment of liquid chromatography conditions

[0054] In the process of liquid phase analysis, adding a small amount of formic acid is beneficial to the ionization of the target compound in t...

Embodiment 2

[0066] Embodiment 2 Determination of oligosaccharide content in syrup and honey

[0067] 1. Content analysis of oligosaccharides in syrup

[0068] The main components of pure natural honey are glucose, fructose and a small amount of sucrose, while the rice syrup and corn syrup used in adulteration will have unhydrolyzed oligosaccharides due to production process problems, so when natural honey is mixed with starch syrup , there will be trace amounts of oligosaccharides present.

[0069] For honey and syrup samples without crystallization, stir them evenly; for samples with crystallization, warm them in a water bath not exceeding 60°C under airtight conditions, shake them, stir well after the samples are completely melted, and cool them rapidly to room temperature. Accurately weigh 1.0 g of the melted sample (accurate to 0.01 g) into an appropriate scale container, dilute to 10.0 mL with water, vortex until dissolved, take an appropriate amount of supernatant and mix with an ...

Embodiment 3

[0078] Example 3 Methodological investigation of maltoheptaose as a characteristic marker of starch syrup

[0079] The standard stock solution of maltoheptaose was diluted with water into a standard working solution, and the standard solutions with contents of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 10 and 20 μg / mL were successively obtained, which were determined according to the optimized instrument conditions and quantified by the external standard method. Taking the accurate mass chromatographic peak area of ​​the characteristic ion of maltoheptaose as the ordinate and the content as the abscissa, the standard curve was drawn. The correlation coefficient (r) was greater than 0.99, indicating that the linear relationship was good in the range of 0.5 to 10.0 μg / mL. Three different spiked levels of 20, 50 and 100 mg / kg were added to 3 kinds of honey samples including rapeseed honey, acacia honey and linden honey, and each level was repeated 6 times. The average recoveries ranged between 75-82%, ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for discriminating admixing of starch syrup in honey, and belongs to the field of food safety. The method for rapidly detecting the starch syrup admixed in honey against the starch syrup commonly used in present adulterated honey comprises the steps of sample pretreatment, liquid phase separation and mass spectrum detection. Whether the starch syrup is admixed in the honey or not is qualitatively judged according to the retention time of maltoheptaose and the relative abundance ratio of ion pairs, and the content of the starch syrup in a sample solution is quantitatively determined through a standard curve technology. The method has the advantages of strong integrity, good specificity, strong controllability and high accuracy, greatly solves the starch syrup adulteration problem in present Chinese honey analysis detection, protects consumers' valid rights, and is of great significance to standardize the honeybee product market and promote the healthy development of Chinese honeybee product industry.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for identifying starch syrup mixed with honey, which belongs to the field of food safety. Background technique [0002] The problem of honey adulteration has been around for a long time, but it has not been vigilant by ordinary consumers. On the one hand, adulterated honey itself is less harmful to the human body than some other adulterated foods; on the other hand, the lag of detection methods has led to the rampant proliferation of fake honey. Inexpensive starchy syrups (rice, corn syrup) mixed with natural honey are a common phenomenon in honey adulteration. Starch syrup is a viscous liquid processed by industrial methods such as hydrolysis and decolorization of sweet potato, corn and other plant starches, and its sugars are grouped into glucose, oligosaccharides, etc. The hydrolysis of starch is called conversion in industry. During the conversion of starch syrup, different acids, enzymes or acid enzymes are us...
