Description Chemical fingerprints based on FTIR spectra, phenolics and volatiles were studied for a total of 30 honey types of
eight different botanical origin i.e. litchi, neem, ginger, eucalyptus, lemon (unifloral) and Kashmiri white, BR
Hills & Pan India honey (Multifloral). Chemometrics based on principal component analysis (PCA) was used as a
complementary tool for chemical fingerprint of honey. ATR-FTIR had a good predictive capability to discriminate
among honey when conjugated with chemometric tools, providing the rapid first-line of classification
for honey. The specific phenolic compounds identified were homovanillic acid for neem, zingerone and gingerol
for ginger, tricetin for eucalyptus, hesperitin and naringenin for lemon honey. Analysis of volatiles led to
identification of odor active compounds such as azadirachtin for neem and zingiberene in ginger honey for the
first time, whereas cis-rose oxide for litchi, 2-hydroxycineole for eucalyptus and methyl anthranilate & limonene
diol for lemon honey as per previous studies which were well correlated with PCA of phenolics and volatiles.
