Using 128 samples of monofloral honeys, and 14 samples of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) which could be classified into 4 groups according to content, a method was investigated for detecting HFCS in honey by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The sugars in HFCS were separated into more than 10 peaks, including 2 oligosaccharides (peaks 2 and 3) which eluted comparatively rapidly, and which were not detected in any honeys except those from horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum).
