“…Biological activities of polyphenol-rich extracts from propolis show variations depending on its chemical composition. Similar results were observed for different origins of same countries including Portugal(Silva et al 2012;Moreira et al 2008;Miguel et al 2010), Turkey(Aliyazıcıoglu et al 2013), Algeria(Benhanifia et al 2013), China(Dong et al 2013), Poland(Socha et al 2015) and Brazilia(Righi et al 2013). The major components, namely quercetin, hesperidin and apigenin, have considerable biological activities such as antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial(Wilmsen et al 2005; Kumar, Pandey 2005;Liu et al 2013).…”

Propolis is a resinous mixture collected and used by the honey bees to construct and repair their hives. The component of propolis varies depend on the type of the plants collected.Propolis and its constituents have been subjected to many studies and are known for their antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticarcinogenic properties. In our study, antioxidant and antitumor capacity of propolis from Konya Sakyatan and Kiziloren regions were investigated.According to our result, Kızıloren propolis sample possesses higher antioxidant component and antioxidant capacity than Sakyatan sample. Accordingly, Kiziloren sample showed antiproliferative effect at much lower doses compared to the Sakyatan sample. Both samples effectively inhibited the migration of cancer cells at their determined IC 50 dosages. Obtained data indicates that constituents of propolis can greatly vary from one sample to another even in the same region and propolis selections for cancer prevention and treatment studies should be carefully considered.

“…So far, more than 300 compounds, such as polyphenols, terpenoids, steroids, sugars and amino acids were detected in raw propolis (18). However, many studies have reported that the flavonoids present in the propolis are responsible for its biological activities (19)(20)(21)(22)(23).…”

This study was performed to investigate the antimicrobial effect of propolis from Hakkari province of Turkey and its chemical content by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy. In vitro inhibitory activity of propolis was studied by the disc diffusion method against six gram positive, three gram negative bacteria and one yeast like fungi. As a result of chemical analysis, the total flavonoid ratio of the propolis sample was found to be higher than the other compound groups. Pinostrobin chalcone, pinocembrin and chrysin were identified as major flavonoids. Also, all microorganisms tested were susceptible to the propolis extract except for Klebsiella pneumoniae. Minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) values were determined by microbroth dilution assay. MIC values against microorganisms ranged from 25 to 200 µg/mL. Antimicrobial susceptibility test results showed that inhibitory effect our propolis sample was somewhat weaker than ampicillin, but it had a broader spectrum.

“…Propolis, a hard and resinous natural product derived by bees from plant juices, exhibits antibacterial activity due to its high flavonoid content (Benhanifia et al, 2013;Burdock, 1998;Kujumgiev et al, 1999). Grapefruit seed extract (GSE), a commercial product derived from the seeds and pulp of grapefruit, also has powerful antimicrobial properties (Lim et al, 2010) mainly due to the polyphenolic compounds it contains (Saito et al, 1998;Aloui et al, 2014).…”

Antimicrobial air filters using a new natural product agent, grapefruit seed extract (GSE) have been investigated for application in air purifiers or heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. The disk diffusion method was used to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of GSE, propolis, and shiitake against four bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Psedomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli. The inactivation of S. aureus was then investigated on air filters treated with two natural products, GSE and propolis (selected for comparison to GSE) using two test methods based on different deposition weights.GSE displayed the highest antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli of the three natural products tested by the disk diffusion method. Similar inactivation rates of 58-67% for GSE and propolis air filters were observed at a relatively low deposition weight of 94-98 μg/cm 2 using the aerosol deposition method. However, the inactivation rate was considerably superior on the GSE air filter (~98%) compared to the propolis air filter (~75%) at deposition weights of 5000-8000 μg/cm 2 using the film attachment method. The inactivation rate for both GSE and propolis air filters could be expressed as an exponential function [in the form of 1 -exp(-ax b )] of the deposition weight per unit area of the natural product. The superior inactivation performance of the GSE air filter using the film attachment method was probably due to the high wettability of GSE for bacteria cultures, with a contact angle less than 20°. Therefore, GSE air filters will be more effective and economical than propolis air filters due to their high microbial activity and relatively low price.
