Stable carbon isotope ratios (δ13C) for glucose, fructose, disaccharides, trisaccharides, and organic acids in 116 commercial honey samples were measured by LC/IRMS. On the basis of EA/IRMS and LC/IRMS authenticity criteria, 39 of the samples were judged to have been adulterated. The δ13C values for organic acids from pure honey, reported here for the first time, ranged from −33.6 to −26.5‰. The mean Δδ13C (glucose–organic acids) value was +3.7 ± 0.9‰. Glucose and organic acid δ13C values were strongly correlated (R = 0.71, P < 0.001). Gluconic acid, the predominant organic acid in honey, has been reported to be produced via decomposition of glucose by bee glucose-oxidase and certain Gluconobacter spp. This fact was confirmed by isotope analysis.
