This study was carried out to detect some causes of simulated adulterants intentionally added to the commercial Sudanese honeys. An authentic honey sample was intentionally adulterated with 30% cane syrup, commercial glucose syrup, Gum Arabic and Gamardin separately. Gas liquid chromatograms were produced for the sample before and after adulteration. These chromatograms were compared with those of 20 commercial honey samples. Characteristic chromatograms were generated for the authentic sample compare to each of the adulterated sample. The comparison resulted in detection of adulteration in 4 samples with cane syrup, commercial glucose syrup and unknown materials. The result indicated the need for comprehensive investigation of the commercial honeys and developing simple method of detection of adulteration
