| Abstract | The international utilisation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-fufural (HMF) as an indicator of honey quality necessitates its appropriate laboratory analysis. FAPAS supplies associated proficiency tests to externally assess the analytical performance. Currently, HMF results submitted are separated and analysed according to whether HPLC or spectrophotometric methods were used. This study aimed to establish whether data from the two methods could be analysed in combination for PTs at HMF concentrations of honey quality concern and remain fit for purpose. 15 years' worth of FAPAS honey proficiency test data was analysed. 25 PTs' result distributions, assigned values and RSDRs were compared. Alterations to z-score outcomes when HPLC and spectrophotometric results are combined and the Horwitz function used alternatively to Apidologie collaborative trial data were considered. The majority of PTs showed submitted spectrophotometric results did not significantly differ to those using HPLC. Assigned values generated by spectrophotometric and HPLC results displayed were correlated (linear functional relationship estimate, y = 0.16715 + 1.052x). 5.22% of z-scores revised to a ‘questionable’ value as a result of combining both method datasets, with spectrophotometric results being the most affected. HorRat values illustrated RSDR values calculated using Horwitz instead of collaborative trial data are within acceptable parameters. Consequently, combining the two methods' results for assessment of HMF analysis proficiency tests at levels of interest to honey quality remains fit for purpose. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
