The award will support Dr. Bayen’s research contributions to
analytical techniques and the development of reliable and robust
workflows to identify honey authenticity using non-targeted
chemical fingerprinting strategies.
Regarded as the next-generation surveillance approach for
chemicals in food, non-targeted analysis using high-resolution mass
spectrometry coupled with innovative software enables the rapid
characterization of thousands of chemicals in complex food matrices
such as honey.
“Honey is one of the top adulterated foods in the world,” said
Mary McBride, associate vice president, Applied Markets and
Regulations, Laboratory Solutions Marketing at Agilent, and
executive sponsor of the award. “This award will help create
routine and reliable non-targeted fingerprinting methods to ensure
not only the authenticity of honey but its safety for
consumers.”
“High-resolution mass spectrometry allows us to map food
components in an unprecedented fashion,” said Dr. Bayen. “This
approach will revolutionize the way we manage and regulate food
quality, food safety, and food authenticity.”
Food authenticity testing utilizing chemical fingerprinting
strategies is emerging as a more effective approach to track food
fraud, and chemical fingerprints are virtually impossible to
imitate due to their complexity.
The Agilent Thought Leader Award program promotes fundamental
scientific advances by contributing financial support, products,
