UAE’s first AI-enabled honey testing laboratory was launched in Abu Dhabi recently. Honey Quality Laboratory, located at the Central Testing Laboratory (CTL) in Masdar City, will ensure stringent quality checks, assurance, purity, and authenticity of local and international honey products.
Honey, a natural sweetener which is known for its medicinal properties and health benefits, is among the most impure products. The lab’s massive scope of detecting impurities in honey also includes isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) – a test for authenticity to assure no-adulteration. The lab undertakes comprehensive tests through advanced equipment to assess the quality of honey, detect any impurity, and make sure it complies with global standards. This is made possible through using AI-enhanced Lab Information Management System (LIMS), machine learning tools, and large language models (LLMs).
The unique selling point of the facility is its rich availability of data. Now, AI tools can be used for data analysis and augmenting and integration of massive data sets. LLMs can also scour large amounts of content to help gather information on the latest and best guidelines, advancement in production, specifications, and classifications of requirements, thereby making operations quicker and more accurate while ensuring the highest quality of honey for producers, consumers and beekeepers.
