“…The pH values of pollen aqueous solutions (Table 1) were lower than those determined by MARCHINI et al (2006), who studied pollen samples collected by the bee species A. mellifera and obtained the mean value of 5.1 (range: 4.8-5.3) in the period from Mar/99 to Mar/00. BASTOS et al (2003) found pH values closer to those determined in the present study (range 3.7-5.5).…”

“…The condition is different from that for stingless bee pollen, which is stored inside the hives and undergoes fermentation processes that may influence the pH value for this product. MARCHINI et al (2006) and MODRO et al (2007) reported, respectively, 76.3 and 72.0% of total solids in pollen collected by A. mellifera. These values were higher than those reported in stingless bee collected pollen, which was used in the present study ( Table 1).…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the physicochemical characteristics of pollen collected by the Amazonian stingless bees Melipona seminigra and Melipona interrupta, in order to verify whether their characteristics meet the physicochemical requirements established by the Brazilian Technical Regulation for Identity and Quality of Bee Pollen.Physicochemical analyses were performed through official analytical methods. Results of pollen analyses collected by M. seminigra and M. interrupta were respectively as follows: moisture: 53.39 and 37.12%; protein: 37.63 and 24.00%; lipids: 10.81 and 6.47%; ash: 4.03 and 2.74%; crude fiber: 9.30 and 13.65%; carbohydrates: 25.66 and 44.27%; energy: 350.47 and 331.33kcal%; pH: 3.70 and 3.34; total solids: 46.60 and 62.87%, and water activity: 0.91 and 0.85 foram, respectivamente: umidade: 53,39 e 37,12%; proteínas: 37,63 e 24,00%; lipídeos: 10,81 e 6,47%; cinzas: 4,03 e 2,74%; fibra bruta: 9,30 e 13,65%; carboidratos: 25,66 e 44,27%; energia: 350,47 e 331,33kcal%; pH: 3,70 e 3,34; sólidos totais: 46,60

Physical-chemical characterization of polifloral pollen collected by Africanized bees (Apis mellifera L.) in the region of Cariri Ceará ABSTRACTApiculture pollen may present variations in its chemical composition, mainly due to abiotic factors, which may directly influence its nutritional quality. In this context, the objective of the present study was to characterize the polifloral pollen collected by Africanized bees (Apis mellifera L.) in the region of the Cariri region of Ceará through physicochemical analyzes during a one-year period. Samples of bee pollen were analyzed for the parameters: protein, ash, moisture, lipids and total sugars. Mean values were 26.43% protein, 2.56% for ash, 13.72% for moisture, 7.57% for lipids, and 29.14% for total sugars. All the analyzed parameters met the standards of the Technical Regulation for Identification and Quality of Beekeeping pollen established by the Ministry of Agriculture. The results showed that there was a great oscillation in the data during the months studied and could be related to local environmental factors or to the storage in which the pollen samples were submitted. However, it is possible to conclude that the bee pollen studied can be considered nutrient-rich foods. With considerable levels of proteins, lipids and sugars.
