Annular centrifugal extraction for the recovery of non-sugar compounds from honey.

ABSTRACT: The high viscosity of honey, due to its carbohydrate content, complicates analysis and hinders the study of low-concentration, yet crucial, honey phenolics. Consequently, many compounds remain unknown or are only tentatively identified. To address these challenges, this study introduces Annular Centrifugal Extraction (ACE) - a continuous-flow liquid-liquid extraction method under centrifugation - as a novel approach for investigating honey phenolics. ACE enables high-yield recovery of extracts while removing carbohydrates. Despite its application in various fields, ACE remains underutilized in food analysis, making this the first report on its application to honey. The method´s efficiency was evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and
