Analysis of Various Honeys from Different Sources Using Electronic Nose

Various honeys from different sources were analyzed using an electronic nose based on a mass spectrometer. Various hon-eys were separated with different mixing ratios. Wild honey and artificial honey were blended at ratios of 100:0, 95:5, 90:10,85:15, 80:20, 75:25, and 70:30, respectively. Data obtained from the electronic nose were used for discriminant functionanalysis (DFA). The DFA plot indicated a significant separation of honey from different sources. As the concentration ofartificial honey increased, the first discriminant function score (DF1) moved from positive to negative (DF1: r
