“…The differences in inhibition-zone diameters of S. aureus ATCC25923 (CV = 4.2%), S. epidermides 25/04 (CV = 6.0%), S. epidermides 194/02 (CV = 6.0%), S. pyogenes 93007 (CV = 3.6%) and 75194 (CV = 5.3%) and E. coli (CV = 5.9%) were not statistically significant. The antibacterial effect of propolis essential oil on S. aureus was reported by other authors (17,20). On the other hand, the present study is the first report of antibacterial activity of propolis essential oil against E. coli and S. pyogenes.…”

ABSTRACT:The present study aimed at investigating the chemical composition of essential oil extracted from Brazilian propolis and the susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermides, Streptococcus pyogenes and Escherichia coli to this substance. The essential oil was obtained by steam distillation of propolis and examined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). In addition, the agar diffusion method using filter paper disks was employed. Antibacterial activity was measured as equivalent diameters of inhibition zones (in millimeters) after incubation at 37C for 24 hours. From the 26 identified constituents, β-caryophyllene (12.7%), acetophenone (12.3%) and β-farnesene (9.2%) were found to be major components. New components, namely linalool, methyl hydrocinnamate, ethyl hydrocinnamate, α-ylangene, γ-elemene and valencene, are reported for the first time to be present in propolis essential oil. This oil also exhibited antibacterial activity.

“…Initial GC-MS studies of propolis focused on the more volatile constituents of propolis, or necessarily undertook derivatization of the extracts [13][14][15] as a sample preparation procedure. Furthermore, a single sample could take an hour to be analyzed.…”

“…GC/MS was used to analyze content of propolis of stingless bees from Brazil [13][14][15] and Mexico [16] showing the composition of native bee propolis to be different from that of A. mellifera bees from the same regions. In more recent studies [17,18], negative ion mode eletrospray ionization-mass spectrometry [ESI(−)-MS] fingerprinting was used to compare the composition of ethanolic extracts of samples of native Brazilian stingless bee propolis with extracts of possible plant sources.…”

a b s t r a c tChemical profiles of a representative set of 49 propolis ethanolic extracts collected worldwide (North and South America, Europe, Asia and Oceania) were obtained via easy ambient sonic-spray ionization mass spectrometry (EASI-MS). This simple and easily implemented fingerprinting technique analyses directly (without any pre-separation or sample manipulation) a tiny droplet of the ethanolic extract placed on a inert surface under ambient conditions. Data acquisition took about a minute per sample with no substantial sample carry-over. Extraction of propolis with ethanol by using an ultrasonic bath method gave EASI-MS data similar to the traditional maceration method, reducing total analysis time for the crude propolis resin from a week to just ca 1 h. Principal component analysis of the EASI-MS data is shown to group samples according to the plant sources of their resins, which characterizes their geographical origin.

Health beneficial probiotics are fastidious microorganisms and sensitive to various environmental conditions, so that their survival rates could be affected by various factors such as diet, stress, senescence, and antibiotics. This study was performed to evaluate the influence of various spices (garlic, ginger, scallion, onion, Chungyang red pepper, and red pepper) which have antimicrobial properties and used frequently in Korean diet, and propolis on probiotics isolated from Koreans. As a result, most Korean probiotic strains were resistant to all spices tested and propolis, and the growth rates of some Korean probiotic strains (Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Streptococcus thermophiles) were even increased by specific spices or propolis. But on the other hand, the growth rates of most of european probiotic strains were reduced by various spices or propolis, and the growth rates of a few european probiotic strains (L. helveticus, S. thermophiles) were greatly decreased in the presence of specific spices. Likewise, all commercial probiotic products including Korean probiotic strains were rarely affected by spices tested. However, european probiotic product tended to be greatly reduced by garlic, onion, scallion, and propolis. Therefore, these results indicate that probiotic strains isolated from Korean have the strong viability and resistance to various spices with antimicrobial properties, so that they might be appropriate for Korean intestine.
