Molecularly imprinted polymer electrochemical sensor for lead detection in honey

Overview

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.
