Abstract:Honey's valued for nutrition and antioxidants, but adulteration, mainly sugar addition, reduces quality and nutritional value. In this chapter, a detection system for honey adulterated with sucrose syrup is reported using a sensor built with fiber optics. The sensor consists of the union of a segment of non-core multimode fiber (NC-MMF) joined at its ends to two segments of single-mode fiber (SMF). The principle of operation is that, when propagating an optical field in the device, a transmission peak appears … Show more
