In-tube dynamic extraction for analysis of volatile organic compounds in honey samples.

ABSTRACT: Honey is the oldest and nowadays widely used natural sweetener for food worldwide. Its composition is associated with its botanical and geographical origin and honey is often mislabeled and has a high potential for food fraud. Thus, quick easy and sensitive analyses are required. For the first time, we developed and applied an automated, fast, sensitive and robust, in-tube extraction dynamic headspace in-tube extraction-dynamic headspace (ITEX-DHS) method for a variety of Honey containing VOCs in connection with GC-MS. Another advantage of ITEX is, that it is a green analytical solventless method. The method provides very low method detection limits (MDL) from 0.8 to 47 ng g^-1 for VOCs in honey samples as well as very good repeatabilities with averages below 9 % RSD. Recoveries
