AB  - Honey is very complex natural substance consisted of sugars, water, and other compounds in smaller quantities such as proteins (enzymes), organic acids, vitamins, minerals, phenolics, and a large variety of volatile compounds. Discriminating the honeys according to botanical and/or geographical origin may be possible according to their characteristic constituents including organic acids profile. These acids are related to the colour and flavour of honey and its chemical properties such as acidity, pH and electrical conductivity. Honey is deceptively acidic, as the high sugar content tends to mask the acidity in the taste. Citric acid among other acids, is present in honey in moderate amount but it's presence could be potentially used as marker for authenticity control [1].

Fraudulent addition of compounds in honey sets a necesity to establish the natural level of the specific substances, and subsequently determine when this level is exceeded, indicating adulteration. Citric acid can be added to decrease pH in adulterated honey where normal pH levels have been exceeded. Also increased citrate concentration in honeys could be a result of addition of invert syrup to honey. Therefore there is a need for a method to determine citrate content in honey quickly and efficiently1. In current work a method for determination of organic acids profile in honey using ion chromatography with conductometric detection (IC-CD) without prior separation of compounds and chemical derivatization was developed. This approach for citric acid determination is characterized by LOD and LOQ values of 0.05 and 0.20 mg/L, respectively. Low RSD Sy/x value and r2 level of 0.9999 indicates a good regression model. Trueness of method was confirmed by good recoveries (108%, 104% and 95% for spiked levels 75%, 100% and 125%, respectively), while precision was confirmed by HorRat value (0.30) less than 2 [2].

AB  - Soluble sugars and organic acids have a strong impact on the overall sensory quality of fruits. Organic acids also facilitate in stabilization of anthocyanins, and they extend the shelf-life of fresh fruits and their processed products. The production of new apple-based products with health beneficial properties is leading to agronomical and chemical re-evaluation of old apple cultivars.
In this study the mesocarp samples of five conventional, five resistant and fifteen autochthonous apple cultivars from a single growing season were deliberated. Assessment was based on contents of four sugars, one sugar alcohol and five organic acids that were determined by the usage of HPAEC-PAD and HPAEC-CD systems. Fructose was detected as dominant sugar in all cases (50.4 – 77.9 mg/kg FW) and malic acid as dominant acid (1.1 – 4.5 mg/kg FW). Regarding the average values, xylose and sorbitol were in higher amount in autochthonous cultivars compared to others. In resistant cultivars shikimate and malate were found in lower concentrations compared to other cultivar types. Among the obtained data, highest correlation values were found between citrate and isocitrate, and also between citrate and malate (0.905 and 0.839, respectively).
