Propolis is a natural brownish resinous substance collected by honeybees (Apis mellifera), with a documented bioactivity against many microorganisms. In this study, the activity of propolis was investigated using some strains of Pseudomonas spp., Enterobacteriaceae, Lactobacillus plantarum, yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Debaryomyces hansenii) and Fusarium oxysporum. Two approaches were used (a modified microdilution protocol and viable count), and the microorganisms were inoculated at two levels (low or high inoculum). The antimicrobial effect of propolis relies upon several factors, like the kind of microorganisms (for example S. cerevisiae was more resistant than D. hansenii, while Lactobacillus plantarum was never affected), the cell concentration (at high inoculum higher amounts of propolis were required for an antimicrobial action), and the mode of action (a delay of growth rather than a complete inhibition). The results of this paper point out, for the first time, the antimicrobial activity of propolis against some spoilers, with a focus on the possible effect; thus, they could be the background to designing an effective tool to prolong the shelf life of foods.

“…Therefore, in recent years, literature sources have reported growing interest in wood impregnation applications of natural products and synthetic compounds characterized by low impact on human health and the environment, including essential oils, chitosan, and terpenes [ 20 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Another example in this respect may be provided by propolis, a natural substance with various biological properties, such as antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, and antiviral [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Compared to untreated wood, the material treated with propolis extracts exhibits activity against decay fungi, such as Coniophora puteana , Trametes versicolor , and Neolentinus lepiseus [ 32 , 33 ].…”

Propolis and Organosilanes as Innovative Hybrid Modifiers in Wood-Based Polymer Composites

et al. 2021

The article presents characteristics of wood/polypropylene composites, where the wood was treated with propolis extract (EEP) and innovative propolis-silane formulations. Special interest in propolis for wood impregnation is due to its antimicrobial properties. One propolis-silane formulation (EEP-TEOS/VTMOS) consisted of EEP, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), and vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMOS), while the other (EEP-TEOS/OTEOS) contained EEP, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), and octyltriethoxysilane (OTEOS). The treated wood fillers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), while the composites were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and optical microscopy. The wood treated with EEP and propolis-silane formulations showed resistance against moulds, including Aspergillus niger, Chaetomium globosum, and Trichoderma viride. The chemical analyses confirmed presence of silanes and constituents of propolis in wood structure. In addition, treatment of wood with the propolis-silane formulations produced significant changes in nucleating abilities of wood in the polypropylene matrix, which was confirmed by an increase in crystallization temperature and crystal conversion, as well as a decrease in half-time of crystallization parameters compared to the untreated polymer matrix. In all the composites, the formation of a transcrystalline layer was observed, with the greatest rate recorded for the composite with the filler treated with EEP-TEOS/OTEOS. Moreover, impregnation of wood with propolis-silane formulations resulted in a considerable improvement of strength properties in the produced composites. A dependence was found between changes in the polymorphic structures of the polypropylene matrix and strength properties of composite materials. It needs to be stressed that to date literature sources have not reported on treatment of wood fillers using bifunctional modifiers providing a simultaneous effect of compatibility in the polymer-filler system or any protective effect against fungi.

“…In functional food market, propolis extracts have been proposed as an ingredient against foodborne pathogens, bacteria, and disease, as well as an antifungal or oxidative stabilizer against lipid oxidation (Braakhuis, 2019;Cottica et al, 2019;Pérez et al, 2019). However, the pharmacological and preservative properties of propolis extracts can be affected by plant resin (Drescher et al, 2019), pollen (Tugba-Degirmencioglu et al, 2019), geographical origin (Letullier et al, 2020), harvest method and solvent extraction (Papotti et al, 2012), as well as seasonality and environmental conditions of the collection area (Seidel et al, 2008;de Souza et al, 2014).…”

Physicochemical and microbiological characterization, and evaluation of the antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of propolis produced in two seasons and two areas of the eastern edge of the Sonoran Desert

This research determined the effects of season and collection location on the physicochemical quality (instrumental color and proximal chemical analysis) and microbiological properties (mesophilic, psychrotrophic, and Staphylococcus aureus counts) of raw propolis, and the biological activity of propolis extracts. The total phenolic compounds (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) were measured, and antioxidant activity was evaluated by the free-radical scavenging activity (FRSA) and reducing power ability (RPA). The antibacterial activity was determined against Gram-positive (S. aureus and Listeria monocytogenes) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium). The results showed that the physicochemical and microbiological properties of raw propolis complied with international quality standards. Propolis extracts collected during summer had the greatest effect against S. aureus, and the highest FRSA and RPA, likely because of also possessing the highest TPC and TFC among the extracts. In conclusion, the season and collection location affect the physicochemical properties of propolis, as well as the bioactivity of its extracts.
