“…The result was expressed as milligrams of ascorbic acid equivalent per 100 mL of vinegar. The scavenging activity of apple vinegar for the radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) was measured as described by Miguel et al and Laaroussi et al [ 26 , 27 ]. The scavenging activity was estimated based on the percentage of DPPH radical scavenged using the following equation:

The main objective of this study is to determine the effects of apple vinegar on the metabolic changes caused by hypercaloric diet in Wistar rats. Apple vinegar was first analyzed to find out the total acidity, the polyphenolic and flavonoid contents, the total antioxidant capacity, and the free radical scavenging activity. In vivo study on adult male and female Wistar rats was conducted by administering a drink containing either 10% D-glucose or water (control) for five weeks. Apple vinegar is administered daily by gavage (2 mL/kg) to rats fed D-glucose for 5 weeks. The results showed that the polyphenolic content in apple vinegar was 148.02±10.16 mg GAE/100 mL, flavonoid content was 22.93±0.73 QE/100 mL, and total antioxidant capacity was 13.4±0.47 mg AAE/100 mL. Free radical IC50 apple vinegar scavenging activity (DPPH) was 0.74±0.154 μL/mL. The total acidity was (3.24±0.02 mg AAE/100 mL). The treatment during five weeks with D-glucose leads to increased plasma glucose, lipid profile, hepatic enzyme levels, urea, and creatinine. Simultaneous treatment with apple vinegar improves the parameters studied. These results clearly show that the daily consumption of vinegar can reduce the rise in blood sugar and lipid profile induced by hypercaloric diet in rats. Therefore, the use of apple vinegar would have a very beneficial effect in the prevention of metabolic disorders caused by high-caloric food.

“…e results also indicate variability in physicochemical analysis and antioxidant activity in P5 and P2, even if they have the same botanical origin (Ulex europaeus). e most likely explanation of these findings is the presence of secondary pollen (Table 2) that contribute to the antioxidant activity, and mineral content of the studied samples [52]. In addition, bee pollen sample P2 was from KHENICHAT, while bee pollen sample P5 was from FEZ (Table 1); therefore, they were produced in different geographic and climatic areas, which contributes to the variability of these two samples in the studied parameters [51].…”

In this study, eight monofloral bee pollen samples were collected from different apiaries in Morocco. Botanical origins of the bee pollen samples were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the physicochemical parameters (pH, moisture, ash, and the mineral contents) were determined. Total phenolic, flavones/flavonols contents were evaluated, and the antioxidant potential was assessed using total antioxidant capacity, DPPH, ABTS, and reducing power assays. Data showed that pH, moisture, and ash content values ranged between 4.19 ± 0.17 and 4.82 ± 0.36, 10.7 ± 0.04% and 26.8 ± 0.01%, and 1.81 ± 0.10% and 4.22 ± 0.08%, respectively. Potassium and magnesium were the most abundant minerals in bee pollen samples; heavy metals were not detected except for two samples (P5 and P6) where a very small amount of lead was found. The protein content in these samples varied between 19.86 ± 0.36 mg/100 g and 30.32 ± 0.12 mg/100 g of bee pollen. The phenolic content, flavones/flavonols content, and total antioxidant capacity were 21.87 ± 1.80 mgEAA/g, 2.37 ± 0.16 mgEAA/g, and 6.23 ± 0.21 mgEAA/g, respectively. High scavenging activity of DPPH and ABTS radicals was found in P2 with the lower IC50 of 0.245 ± 0.009 mg/ml and 0.19 ± 0.005 mg/ml, respectively. The lower EC50 was 0.133 ± 0.036 mg/ml found in P1 for the reducing power test. The current study is considered to be the first step to the standardization of Moroccan bee pollen.

“…Los valores de pH son similares a los estimados en mieles comerciales colombianas (Aguas et al, 2010;Méndez et al, 2010;Ortega-Bonilla et al, 2016;Salamanca et al, 2017) y en mieles multiflorales (Álvarez-Suárez et al, 2018;Ciulu et al, 2018;Đogo et al, 2020;Dżugan et al, 2020;Fernandes et al, 2020;Laaroussi et al, 2020;Sakač et al, 2019;Scholz et al, 2020).

“…Numerosos autores proponen la determinación de parámetros fisicoquímicos como marcadores útiles para definir el origen geográfico de diferentes mieles; entre ellos se destacan el pH, el contenido de azúcares, la acidez, las cenizas, la conductividad eléctrica (CE), el contenido de minerales y el color (Đogo et al, 2020;Laaroussi et al, 2020;Sakač et al, 2019;Scholz et al, 2020).…”

“…Algunos microelementos como hierro (Fe), cobre (Cu), zinc (Zn) y manganeso (Mn) también están presentes en niveles intermedios o traza. En función del manejo agroecológico del suelo, además, es posible identificar la presencia de metales tóxicos, tales como plomo (Pb), cadmio (Cd), arsénico (As), mercurio (Hg) y cromo (Cr) (De Andrade et al, 2014;Đogo et al, 2020;Laaroussi et al, 2020;Rosa et al, 2015;Sakač et al, 2019 Las condiciones geográficas y climáticas favorecen la producción apícola en Colombia (Chamorro-García et al, 2013;Chamorro et al, 2017;Salamanca et al, 2017;Zuluaga et al, 2014). Las cifras sectoriales más recientes reportan una producción anual de miel de 3.372 toneladas (t) de producción en el 2018 y un incremento de 28 % en los últimos 10 años; el departamento del Cauca se posiciona como el séptimo productor a nivel nacional (136 t) (Consejo Nacional CPAA & Comités Departamentales, 2018).…”

La producción de miel en Colombia es una actividad secundaria destinada principalmente al abastecimiento regional. A nivel nacional, el departamento del Cauca ocupa el séptimo lugar en producción de miel. La miel como alimento debe satisfacer las preferencias del consumidor y los criterios de calidad exigidos por la legislación para garantizar sus propiedades nutricionales y funcionales. Estas características se asocian a factores tales como origen botánico y geográfico, prácticas apícolas, entre otros. El origen geográfico de diferentes mieles se puede definir a partir de sus parámetros fisicoquímicos. En este trabajo se analizaron las características fisicoquímicas (acidez libre, pH, °Brix, cenizas, conductividad eléctrica, materia insoluble y humedad), el contenido de compuestos fenólicos totales (CFT), minerales, y el color (escala PFund y CIELab) de veinticuatro muestras de mieles comerciales adquiridas en seis municipios del departamento del Cauca (Colombia): Caldono, La Vega, Paispamba, Silvia, Timbío y Totoró. No todas las muestras cumplieron los requerimientos de la Norma Técnica Colombiana NTC-1273 para mieles florales, excepto las de Silvia, y alrededor del 20 % de las muestras mostró características de mieles de mielada. El color predominante en las mieles analizadas fue ámbar claro y ámbar, y se encontró una fuerte correlación entre los parámetros color expresado en mm PFund y CFT (r = 0,9229, p < 0,05). El análisis de componentes principales (ACP) permitió distinguir parcialmente las mieles de Paispamba, Silvia y Totoró a partir de sus parámetros fisicoquímicos y contenido mineral. Se sugiere el análisis de más muestras de miel para lograr una diferenciación por origen geográfico.
