“…The use of GC–MS for the analysis of the volatile components of propolis is more common, and over 100 volatile constituents have been identified from propolis using GC–MS. Both volatile and semi-volatile compounds can be determined in propolis using this technique (Paviani et al 2010 ; Nunes and Guerreiro 2012 ; Bankova et al 2014 ; Balogun et al 2020 ; Ribeiro et al 2021 ). Spectroscopic data obtained from GC–MS analyses were processed with the help of multivariate analysis techniques and used to classify propolis samples according to regions and seasons.…”

Propolis is a resinous natural product produced by honeybees using beeswax and plant exudates. The chemical composition of propolis is highly complex, and varies with region and season. This inherent chemical variability presents several challenges to its standardisation and quality control. The present review was aimed at highlighting marker compounds for different types of propolis, produced by the species Apis mellifera , from different geographical origins and that display different biological activities, and to discuss strategies for quality control. Over 800 compounds have been reported in the different propolises such as temperate, tropical, birch, Mediterranean, and Pacific propolis; these mainly include alcohols, acids and their esters, benzofuranes, benzopyranes, chalcones, flavonoids and their esters, glycosides (flavonoid and diterpene), glycerol and its esters, lignans, phenylpropanoids, steroids, terpenes and terpenoids. Among these, flavonoids (> 140), terpenes and terpenoids (> 160) were major components. A broad range of biological activities, such as anti-oxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and anticancer activities, have been ascribed to propolis constituents, as well as the potential of these compounds to be biomarkers. Several analytical techniques, including non-separation and separation methods have been described in the literature for the quality control assessment of propolis. Mass spectrometry coupled with separation methods, followed by chemometric analysis of the data, was found to be a valuable tool for the profiling and classification of propolis samples, including (bio)marker identification. Due to the rampant chemotypic variability, a multiple-marker assessment strategy considering geographical and biological activity marker(s) with chemometric analysis may be a promising approach for propolis quality assessment.

“…(+)-δ-Cadinene has a “thyme/herbal/woody” aroma and presents high content in Indonesian black tea ( Choi, 2017 ) and Xinyang Maojian ( Yin, Wang, Kong, Zhu, et al, 2022 ), serving as the key odorant of Xinyang Maojian green tea ( Yin, Kong, Liu, Jiang, et al, 2022 ). Cadinadiene has a fruity aroma, such as “spicy fruity mango” in the senses and high content in the essential oils of Nepeta hindostana ( Siddique et al, 2019 ) and bee propolis ( Balogun et al, 2021 ). Limonene is an important component of green tea and imparts a fresh lemon aroma to tea.…”

Propolis is highly diverse and has various health benefits for humans. However, standardizing propolis-based products for use in the pharmaceutical and food industries is challenging. Efficient extraction processes are essential to maximize their biological potential. Ethanol is commonly used as a solvent but has several drawbacks, such as residual flavor and limitations for some individuals. Water is an alternative, but it is not as effective as ethanol. In this context, new strategies are being explored to find an alternative to ethanol and improve water's performance as a solvent. To this end, a new extraction platform of phenolic compounds from Brazilian green propolis using eutectic solvents was developed. Betaine: citric acid (1:2) with 50 wt % of water was found to be the most efficient solvent, with a yield of extraction around 100 mg polyphenol g propolis −1 under optimum conditions with an ultrasound-assisted extraction approach (UAE). In vitro biological assays were performed to evaluate the potential of this new extract, mainly regarding antioxidant, antihypertensive, lipase inhibition, and antimicrobial activity. Our results indicate that the eutectic solvent selected in the extraction process enhances the biological potential of the green propolis extract, opening the doors for the development of semifinished products active against inflammation biological pathways.
