Spectrofluorimetry combined with multiway chemometric tools were applied to discriminate pure Aroeira honey samples from samples adulterated with corn syrup, sugar cane molasses and polyfloral honey. Excitation emission spectra were acquired for 232 honey samples by recording excitation from 250 to 500 nm and emission from 270 to 640 nm. Parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), unfolded PLS-DA (UPLS-DA) and multilinear PLS-DA (NPLS-DA) methods were used to decompose the spectral data and build classification models. PLS-DA models presented poor classification rates, demonstrating the limitation of the traditional two-way methods for this dataset, and leading to the development of three-way classification models. Overall, UPLS-DA provided the best classification results with misclassification rates of 4% and 8% for the training and test sets, respectively. These results showed the potential of the proposed method for routine laboratory analysis as a simple, reliable, and affordable tool.
