The feasibility of using near-infrared spectroscopy to determine chemical composition of commercial honey was examined. The influences of various sample presentation methods and regression models on the performance of calibration equations were also studied. Transmittance spectra with 1 mm optical path length produced the best calibration for all constituents examined. The regression model of modified partial least squares (mPLS) was selected for the calibration of all honey constituents except moisture, for which the optimal calibration was developed with PLS. Validation of the established calibration equations with independent samples showed that the spectroscopic technique could accurately determine the contents of moisture, fructose, glucose, sucrose, and maltose with squared correlation coefficients (R(2)) of 1.0, 0.97, 0.91, 0.86, and 0.93 between the predicted values and the reference values. The prediction accuracy for free acid, lactone, and hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) contents in honey was poor and unreliable. The study indicates that near-infrared spectroscopy can be used for rapid determination of major components in commercial honey.
