Description
Gabriela Belén Lemus Ringele and co-authors squeeze honey with a spinning extractor in a 2025 food chemistry paper. Honey's valuable phenolic compounds hide at trace levels inside a syrup that is nearly all sugar, and standard prep methods lose or dilute them.
Annular centrifugal extraction runs liquid-liquid separation under centrifugal force in continuous flow, stripping the sugars while recovering the interesting fraction at high yield. Applied to fifty honeys of different floral origins, the method proved repeatable under nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry checks. It beat or matched resin and solid-phase routines, opening more of honey's minor chemistry to study.
