“…Literature references describe a variety of ranges for total phenolics of propolis from different geographical origins, depending on both standard and solvent used. Operating with gallic acid as standard and methanol as solvent/diluent, total phenolics of Portuguese and Brasilian propolis ranged from 29.5 to 137 mg/g [23,24]. Using gallic acid as standard and ethanol as solvent, higher amounts of phenols were obtained (150-340 mg/g), for propolis from Spain [25,26], Poland [27] and China [28].…”

Propolis is a resinous vegetal exudate modified by bees, and is interesting as a preservative and potentially functional product. This work dealt with studying the common phenolic profiles and antioxidant capacities of 13 bee propolis from different geographical areas. Both hyaluronidase and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities were also assessed and related when possible with particular phenolic compounds. High performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) analysis showed that every propolis contained p-coumaric acid (1.2–12.2 mg/g) and ferulic acid (0.3–11.0 mg/g). Pinocembrin, catechin, and caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) plus galangin were the main flavonoids. Antioxidant activities were higher than 280 µmol trolox/g for trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), 0.099 mmol uric acid/g for radical-scavenging effect on hydroxyl radicals, and 0.19 mg/mL for half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of antioxidant activity against superoxide anion radical. Working with solutions of 10 mg/mL propolis, hyaluronidase inhibitory activity ranged between 0% and 68.20%, being correlated to ferulic acid content. ACE inhibitory effect determined by HPLC was higher than 78%, being correlated with catechin and p-coumaric acid. Therefore, propolis could be useful for food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic companies, also helping to reduce risk factors for diseases related to oxidative damage, inflammatory processes, and hypertension. This research also highlights the necessity for harmonized analysis methods and the expression of results for propolis.

“…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

Aim: Geopropolis is produced by stingless bees from resinous materials of plants, adding salivary secretions, wax, mud or clay, and has been used in folk medicine for the treatment of respiratory diseases and dermatoses. Therefore, it is important to study its antibacterial, antitumor and immunomodulatory properties are important to confirm the ethnopharmacological applications. This work aimed to evaluate its chemical composition, and its antimicrobial, anti-tumoral and immunomodulatory activities. Materials and Methods: Geopropolis composition was investigated using GC-MS analysis. Antibacterial tests were performed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration. HEp-2 cells viability was determined by the reduction of MTT, and cytokine production by human monocytes was determined by ELISA. Results: The major constituents of geopropolis compounds were carbohydrates and their derivatives, triterpenes, anacardic acid, alkylresorcinols, and sugar alcohols. Geopropolis alone showed no antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, but its combination with chloramphenicol exerted a greater action against S. aureus than chloramphenicol alone. Geopropolis exhibited a cytostatic action toward human laryngeal epidermoid carcinoma cells and stimulated tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-10 production by human monocytes, showing an activator profile for human monocytes. Conclusion: The synergistic effect of geopropolis and chloramphenicol deserves further investigation due to bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Geopropolis also displayed antitumoral and immunomodulatory activity, and its biological properties may be due to triterpenes -one of its major chemical constituents.
