The value of the determination of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in the detection if invert sirup adulteration of honey is examined. Analysis of 481 samples of extracted honey and 41 comb honeys from producers, and samples of honey before and after processing from 8 packers provided basic data for establishing guidelines for HMF content of honey. A sample containing 20 mg/100 g or more should be considered as possibly adulterated and subjected to additional analysis for confirmation of the presence or absence of adulteration. Extremely high (about 50 mg/100 g) values are conclusive, however.
对羟甲基糠醛（HMF）测定在检测蜂蜜中转化糖浆掺假方面的价值进行了研究。对来自生产商的481份提取蜂蜜和41份巢蜜样本，以及8家包装商加工前后的蜂蜜样本进行分析，为制定蜂蜜HMF含量指南提供了基础数据。含有20毫克/100克或更高含量的样本应被视为可能掺假，并需进行额外分析以确认是否存在掺假。然而，极高（约50毫克/100克）的值具有决定性意义。
