A new idea and strategy for honey traceability and identification was provided by studying the carbon isotope fractionation of rape honey and its components in the different ripening process, as well as the fractionation from rape flowers, stamens, nectar to rape honey. The results showed the moisture content of rape honey continued to decrease, and the glucose and fructose content continued to increase during the ripening process. The δ¹³C of rape honey and its protein were less affected by honey ripeness, while the δ¹³C of sugars in rape honey were greatly affected by this. At the same time, the fractionation of carbon isotope from rape flowers to honey was significant. The δ¹³C of rape honey and its protein, disaccharide, fructose, and glucose had a strong correlation, and the δ¹³C of rape honey and its components were mainly related to rape flowers and its stamens.
