Saponins are the effective components of ginseng plants, but because of their low content and the growing environment of ginseng plants getting worse, it is difficult to meet the use requirements. The variety, cultivation, producing area, harvest time, and other factors of Panax are very important to the quality of Panax saponins. In addition, rare saponins with low natural abundance can be produced by deglycosylation or side chain modification through physical and chemical processing or biotransformation. Most importantly, compared with the prototype saponins, they show strong biological activity, which leads to the research and development of ginseng and rare ginsenoside-related nutritional health products and natural products being highly concerned.

The primary analyses for honey quality involve determining diastase activity (DA), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and carbohydrate composition. A new high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) method was developed, for the precise quantification of HMF, a key marker of honey quality and degradation. Utilizing a Phenomenex Kinetex RP-18 column (5 µm, 150 × 4.6 mm i.d.), with a mobile phase containing water and methanol (95:5, v/v) in gradient mode, at a flow rate of 1 mL/min, and UV detection at 284 nm, the method achieved rapid and efficient separation within 10 minutes, with a low detection limit of 0.03 mg L<sup>−1</sup>, and demonstrated good linearity, precision and recovery rates. The carbohydrate composition of honey, specifically glucose, fructose, saccharose, and maltose, was analysed using a HPLC with refractive index detection (HPLC-RI) method, using a Phenomenex Luna Omega Sugar column (3 µm, 250 ×4.6 mm i.d.), with a mobile phase composed of acetonitrile and water (85:15, v/v). This analytical protocol, incorporating the quantification of maltose, a critical yet often overlooked sugar, significantly bolsters the standard evaluation framework for honey authenticity. DA, a crucial enzymatic indicator, was assessed via the Schade method, providing additional insights into the enzymatic integrity and freshness of the honey samples. The methods were applied to analyse 65 commercial Spanish honey samples, revealing significant compliance with EU regulatory standards, yet also uncovering situations of potential adulteration.
