A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based electrochemical sensor for lead detection was developed and validated in honey matrix samples with a Cyprus connection. Whether occurrence measurements in honey are reported or only method validation in spiked honey requires confirming from the full paper.
Key numbers
- LOD, linear range, and recovery in honey matrix in full paper.
- Occurrence data for Pb in Cypriot honey to confirm from full paper.
Methods (brief)
MIP electrochemical sensor. Measures total Pb2+. Honey matrix validation. Cyprus jurisdiction noted from manifest metadata.
Implications
Certification: Relevant to honey as a food ingredient; Pb in honey is a documented concern for artisanal and monofloral products, particularly near industrial areas. Courses: Demonstrates MIP-based sensors for complex food matrices like honey.
