Propolis is a resinous product rich in phenolic compounds and flavonoids produced by bees. This study aimed to evaluate the propolis of Tetragonisca angustula regarding its classification group, ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and its antifungal biological activity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Colletotrichum acutatum phytopathogens of grains and fruits of interest commercial. Propolis was collected from T. angustula hives in a permanent preservation area. The ethanolic extract was produced by static maceration. The classification group according to the dermal color, the determination of the bands were obtained in a UV-Vis spectrophotometer between 450-800 nm, the antifungal activity carried out in in vitro PDA medium at different concentrations on S. sclerotiorum, C. gloeosporioides and C. acutatum and expressed as a percentage (%). The group in which T. angustula propolis extract fits is the 12 SP12 group, UV-Vis bands identified the presence of flavonoids and phenolic compounds and the antifungal activity demonstrated that S. sclerotiorum is more sensitive when comparing the two species Colletotrichum fungi evaluated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
