“…This remarkable combination makes it an excellent candidate for preserving different foods. Successful experiments have been performed for utilization of propolis extracts in the preservation of numerous products: fruit juices [62][63][64][65], fruits [68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77], vegetables [78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85], eggs [86][87][88][89][90][91], meat and fish products [92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100] (Table 2). This field of application of propolis is rapidly growing, as indicated by the growing number of publications.…”

Propolis (bee glue) is a sticky resinous material applied by honey bees Apis mellifera L. as a building material in their hives and as a defensive substance against infections. Propolis has been used as a remedy in traditional medicine systems all over the world, mainly to treat wounds and burns, sore throat, stomach ulcer, etc. Modern science has confirmed the antimicrobial and antiviral action of propolis, and has discovered numerous other beneficial pharmacological properties of bee glue: immunomodulating, anti-inflammatory, antiobesity, antitumor, and many others. For this reason, a significant number of products containing propolis have been developed and commercialized: medical devices, over-the-counter preparations, health foods and beverages, cosmetics. This review does not deal with propolis applications in the improvement and protection of human health. Instead, it is focused on some new and promising areas of propolis use and innovative propolis-containing products that have emerged in the last few years: improving the growth performance of livestock, food preservation, food packaging, textile materials for biomedical application, etc.Keywords: propolis; livestock growth performance; food preservatives; food packaging НОВИ ПОЛИЊА ВО ЗАРОДИШ ЗА ПРИМЕНА НА ПРОПОЛИСПрополисот е леплив смолест материјал кој медоносните пчели, Apis mellifera L., го користат како градежен материјал за нивните улишта и како одбранбена супстанција од инфекции. Прополисот се користи и како лек во традиционалната медицина ширум светот, главно за лекување на рани и изгореници, болки во грлото, чир на желудникот итн. Модерната наука го потврди антимикробното и антивирусно дејство на прополисот и откри бројни други негови корисни фармаколошки својства како што се: имуномодулаторно, антиинфламаторно, против прекумерна телесна тежина, антитуморно и уште многу други. Поради сето ова се развиени и комерцијализирани голем број производи кои содржат прополис: медицински средства, препарати кои се продаваат без лекарски рецепт, здрава храна и напивки, козметички производи. Овој преглед не се занимава со употребата на прополисот за подобрување и заштита на човековото здравје. Наместо тоа, фокусот е на некои нови и ветувачки области за негова примена и на иновативни производи кои содржат прополис и кои се појавија во последните години, имено: подобрувања во одгледувањето на добиток, конзервирање на храна, пакување на храна, текстилни материјали за биомедицинска примена итн.Клучни зборови: прополис; одгледување на добиток; конзерванси за храна; пакување на храна

“…The potential of ethanolic extract of propolis to control and manage C. gloeosporioides sensu lato anthracnose in dragon fruit has been reported by Zahid et al (2013). Extracts at 0.75% and 1.0% produced 60% inhibition of radial mycelial growth and conidial germination of the fungus and also delayed the commencement of anthracnose symptoms and disease development.…”

“…Chitosan (in the form of submicron chitosan dispersion) as a coating for dragon fruit also has the potential to delay anthracnose and to maintain the fruit quality during storage (Ali et al, 2013). A study by Ali et al (2013) showed that a 1.0% submicron chitosan dispersion with 600 nm droplet size delayed the commencement of anthracnose and maintained the quality of fruit during storage up to 28 days at 10°C ± 2°C and 80% ± 5% relative humidity. However, the quality of the treated fruit was reduced, possibly due to the low viscosity of the submicron chitosan dispersion (Ali et al, 2013).…”

Colletotrichum spp. associated with agricultural crops in Malaysia, causal pathogens and potential control methods

Colletotrichum is one of the most significant and common plant pathogens, infecting many economically important crops worldwide. Colletotrichum is also one of the most studied fungal genera in Malaysia because it contains many species that infect various types of agricultural crop including fruit, vegetable and industrial crops. Studies on Colletotrichum spp. are mostly focused on the causal pathogens, the host range and disease management. Among the host crops, most studies on Colletotrichum spp. have been conducted on infection in chilli (Capsicum spp.), which, in Malaysia, first arose in the 1980s and still continues to be a problem to this day. Studies have also been conducted on Colletotrichum spp. associated with anthracnose in fruit crops including dragon fruit, papaya, banana and mango. Disease management of anthracnose pathogens postharvest has also been conducted to prolong the shelf life of these fruit crops. In this review, Colletotrichum spp. associated with chilli and several fruit crops as well as their disease management are highlighted. There have been many changes in Colletotrichum taxonomy and systematics in recent years, affecting the identification of anthracnose pathogens reported in Malaysia. Colletotrichum species identified solely by morphology or solely via the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region should be referred to as sensu lato (in the broad sense) since many species belong to species complexes. Species within a species complex are closely related, and most are cryptic species particularly species in the C. gloeosporioides and C. acutatum complexes which are commonly associated with agricultural crops in Malaysia. Due to the importance of Colletotrichum spp. as plant pathogens, up-to-date identification methods should be used since accurate species identification of Colletotrichum is crucial for formulating suitable disease management programmes as well as for plant quarantine and biosecurity purposes. This review provides the current knowledge on the status of Colletotrichum spp. associated with agricultural crops in Malaysia and potential control methods on different types of agricultural crops.
