A sensitive and accurate method for simultaneous separation and determination of four phenolic compounds, including caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and hesperetin in Chinese citrus honey by high performance liquid chromatography using electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD) has been established. Chromatographic separation was performed using a reversed phase column and methanol/4% (v/v) aqueous acetic acid as the mobile phase. The detection and quantification limits of the four compounds with ECD were 6–14 times greater than those obtained with diode-array detection (DAD). All calibration curves of the four phenolic compounds showed good linearity (r ⩾ 0.9994) within the test ranges, 1.10–66 μg/ml, 0.35–70 μg/ml, 0.16–16 μg/ml and 0.03–10 μg/ml, respectively. The recoveries ranged from 98.9% to 100.3%. The extraction process was very simple, because of the dissolution of honey only involving water. Taken together, the application of ECD in honey determination leads to a significant improvement in the quantification of phenolic compounds, whereby paying the way for the establishment of a better quality control of citrus honey.
