Halk ilaçlarında Propolisin Tarihi Kullanımı ile Onun Biyolojik Aktivitesi ve Kimyasal Kompozisyonu

Abstract

Propolis is alike of gum material produced by honey bees in the construction and maintenance of their hives. Here the antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, insecticidal and antioxidant activities of propolis, among other attributes of propolis and the chemical composition are reviewed. In recent years the biological activity research on propolis has become increasingly very attractive to many scientists in various fields of research. The comparative biological studies of propolis of different origin and the chemical composition analyses are becoming atractive. Similar types of studies are extremely valuable with the help of information about propolis standardization and practical applications in scientific fields.
