“…Propolis with a high phenol content may be an alternative for prevention and/or retardation of AD symptoms because phenols and flavonoids inhibit AChE activity [ 41 ]. The anti-AChE activity was reported in propolis from India (IC 50 , 43.46 μg/mL) [ 42 ] and Morocco (43–743 μg/mL) [ 32 ]. In the current study, IC 50 of 20 native Korean EEP samples was between 15.6–327.3 μg/mL and the anti-AChE activity of the EEPs was lower than that of either donepezil hydrochloride, tacrine, or huperzine A.…”

BackgroundPropolis (or bee glue), collected from botanical sources by honey bee, has been used as a popular natural remedies in folk medicine throughout the world. This study was conducted to assess growth inhibitory effects of ethanol extracts of propolis (EEPs) from 20 different regions in South Korea on human intestinal bacteria as well as their human β-amyloid precursor cleavage enzyme (BACE-1), acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory, antioxidant, antiproliferative, and anti-human rhinovirus activities.MethodsThe Bonferroni multiple-comparison method was used to test for significant differences in total polyphenol and flavonoid contents among EEP samples using SAS 9.13 program. Correlation coefficient (r) analysis of the biological activities of EEP samples was determined using their 50 % inhibition concentration or minimal inhibitory concentration values and their polyphenol or flavonoid contents in 20 native Korean EEP samples.ResultsThe amounts of total polyphenol and flavonoids in the Korean EEP samples ranged from 49 to 239 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g EEP (Brazilian, Chinese, and Australian samples, 127–142 mg GAE/g EEP) and from 21 to 50 mg quercetin equivalent (QE)/g EEP (Brazilian, Chinese, and Australian samples, 33–53 mg QE/g EEP), respectively. Correlation coefficient analysis showed that total polyphenol contents may be negatively correlated with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging activity (r = −0.872) and total flavonoid content has no correlation with the activity (r = 0.071). No direct correlation between BACE-1 inhibition, AChE inhibition, or antiproliferative activity and total polyphenol or total flavonoid content in Korean EEP samples was found. Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were observed to have different degrees of antimicrobial susceptibility to the EEP samples examined, although ciprofloxacin susceptibility among the bacterial groups did not differ greatly.ConclusionsFurther studies will warrant possible applications of propolis as potential therapeutic BACE-1 blocker, antioxidant, antiproliferative agent, and antimicrobial agent.

Propolis (bee glue) is the resinous substance that bees collect from living plants for the construction and adaptation of their nests. It has antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties and may have a wide range of other beneficial biological activities. Propolis is available as a dietary supplement, in products for the protection of health and prevention of diseases, in biopharmaceuticals, and as a constituent of (bio)cosmetics. In this article, the following aspects of propolis are reviewed: the nature and chemical composition, its biological properties and applications, contact allergy and allergic contact dermatitis (sensitizing potential, products causing contact allergy, clinical picture, frequency of sensitization, coreactivity and cross-reactivity, the allergens in propolis), and other adverse effects.

“…More than 200 compounds have been found in various propolis samples, with flavonoids such as quercetin and kaempferol, phenolic acids such as p-coumaric acid, and terpenoids (limonene, spathulenol, and nerolidol), amongst other substances associated to antioxidant, bactericidal, viricidal, and antiinflammatory activities, some of which are widely used in the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry. [10][11][12][13] However, the use of propolis as a food additive is relatively limited because of its composition in volatile aroma compounds, which can adversely affect the organoleptic characteristics; in addition, its adhesiveness hinders manipulation. Moreover, propolis has a complex chemical composition: It may contain up to 85% wax, balsams, resins, pollen, and other impurities.…”

Effect of chitosan‐propolis edible coatings on stability of refrigerated cachama (Piaractus brachypomus) vacuum‐packed fish fillets

The effect of chitosan‐based coatings containing ethanolic extracts of propolis (EEPs) on the quality of chill‐stored, vacuum‐packed fillets of cachama, an emerging aquaculture species of fish native to the Amazon basins, was evaluated. Coatings were prepared by adding propolis to chitosan following two different strategies: (1) incorporation of microencapsulated EEP and (2) direct incorporation of EEP. Fillets were dip‐coated, vacuum‐packed in medium‐oxygen barrier bags, stored at 4°C, and their quality was evaluated during 20 days, by monitoring lipid oxidation indexes, physicochemical parameters, microbiological quality indicators, texture profile, and sensory acceptance. Chitosan‐EEP coatings significantly increased the time stability of physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory quality indicators of the fish meat compared with control treatments (uncoated vacuum‐packed fillets). In particular, the secondary lipid oxidation of the coated muscles was 12% to 15% lower compared with uncoated samples after 12 days; pH and total volatile base nitrogen (TVB‐N) presented a slower increase in the coated samples; and a greater inhibition of coliforms was observed between days 8 and 16. The chitosan‐EEP coatings had a positive effect in both texture stability and sensory acceptance of the products during storage. Moreover, chitosan coatings with encapsulated EEP had better impact on the evaluated sensory quality parameters. The results indicate that the combination of the barrier properties of chitosan with the bioactive properties of propolis compounds against oxidative free radicals and microbiological deterioration allowed for the edible coatings to extend the shelf life of this aquaculture product with respect to conventionally vacuum‐packed fillets.
