(57) Abstract :
HMF is dominant volatile organic compound in honey mainly imparts quality detection. According to Bureau of Indian Standards and
International commission of honey, value of HMF should be limited to 80 mg/kg. Analytical methods such as spectrophotometer and
chromatography are used for HMF detection which suffers from lack of portability, expertise analysis, expensive and time consuming
and limited for off line application. System is designed by TGS 822(Figaro, Japan) with embedded controller associated with simple
sample injection system. An algorithm is developed so as to display HMF in honey in terms of voltage response. A well laid down
procedure is adapted for heating, injection and monitoring of response. Alphanumeric LCD display with two rows is used to determine
HMF quantity. An improvement is achieved by low cost, portability and affordability .Thus, this improvement is an
achievement towards true technology transfer to grass root level of society.
