“…For many years, GC-MS has been used for the detailed analysis of the main volatile and semi-volatile components of propolis [8,9]. As volatile components, various mono and sesquiterpenes are found in propolis [10,11]. Other constituents of volatile oils include alcohols, mainly aromatic alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, acids (from acetic to stearic acid), esters, a series of alkanes, alkylated benzenes and naphthalene [10].…”

ABSTRACT. The investigation of the volatile compounds of essential oils of propolis from two geographic origins of Ethiopia (Haramaya and Assela) was made by GC-MS. A total of 62 components of the oil were identified from both samples. The identified constituents of the oils may be divided into seven different groups: oxygenated monoterpenes (29.81% Haramaya, 9.45% Asella), sesquiterpenes (15.20% Haramaya, 19.05% Assela), oxygenated sesquiterpenes (11.86% Haramaya, 18.56% Assela), aromatic (14.93% Haramaya, 4.25% Assela), oxygenated aromatic (17.59% Haramaya, 4.58% Assela), aliphatic (5.06% Haramaya, 7.62% Assela) and oxygenated aliphatic (7.84% Haramaya, 25.17% Asella). The major volatile compounds of Haramaya propolis consist of calamenene (13.82%), 4-terpineol (8.57%), epi-bicyclosesquiphellandrene (8.37%), 4-(2-acetyl-5,5-dimethylcyclopent-2-enylidene)butan-2-one (7.83%) and 3-isopropyl-6-methyl-2-oxo-1-(3-oxobutyl)-cyclohexanecarbaldehyde (5.90%). Whereas the most abundant constituents of Assela propolis were 5,6,7,8-tetramethylbicyclo[4,1,0]hept-4-en-3-one (15.01%), acoradien (13.77%), epicedrol (6.80%) and (6E,6E)-3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-1,6,10,14-hexadecatetraen-3-ol (6.14%). Ten compounds which were found in both samples of propolis were trans-pinocarveol,

IntroductionPropolis (also referred to as bee's glue) possesses a broad spectrum of biological activities, such as anti-hepatotoxic, antitumor, antiviral, antioxidant, antimicrobial and antiinflammatory properties, and is therefore used as a constituent of health foods and functional foods (BURDOCK, 1998).Propolis is collected from the leaf buds of numerous tree species (alder, birch, palm, pine, poplar and willow). Other plant exudates and secretions, such as substances secreted by plants to seal wounds, lipophylic substances on leaves, mucilages, gums, resins, lattices, etc. are also used (BANKOVA; CASTRO;MARCUCCI, 2000). Brazilian Green Propolis is collected from the tender sprouts of Baccharis dracunculifolia, which is commonly found in the States of Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Paraná AGUIAR, 2002;IKEGAKI;ALENCAR, 2000). In Brazil, twelve distinct groups of propolis have been classified according to their botanical origin and biological properties. Brazilian Green Propolis is classified as Group 12, which is the most commercialized and largely used in foods and beverages to improve health and prevent diseases (PARK et al., 2005).Propolis is in general composed of 50% resin and balsam, 30% wax, 10% essential and aromatic oils, 5% pollen, and 5% other substances, such as aliphatic acids, esters, aromatic acids, fatty acids, carbohydrates, aldehydes, amino acids, ketones, chalcones, dihydrochalcones, terpenoids, vitamins (B1, B2, B6, C and E) and minerals (aluminum, antimony, calcium, cesium, copper, iron, lanthanum, manganese, mercury, nickel, silver, vanadium and zinc) (ALMEIDA; MENEZES, 2002). Resumo Extratos etanólicos e óleos essenciais de própolis verde do sudeste brasileiro e gemas de sua origem botânica (Baccharis dracunculifolia) foram analisados por CLAE-FR (Cromatografia Líquida de Alta Eficiência em Fase Reversa), CCDAE (Cromatografia em Camada Delgada de Alta Eficiência) e CG-EM (Cromatografia Gasosa acoplada a Espectrometria de Massas). Os óleos essenciais foram obtidos por hidro destilação.Extratos etanólicos e óleos essenciais de Baccharis dracunculifolia e de própolis mostraram perfis cromatográficos similares entre si. Treze flavonóides foram identificados por CLAE-FR e CCDAE em ambas as amostras. Vinte e três compostos voláteis foram identificados por CG-EM, sendo dezessete deles presentes em ambos os óleos essenciais. Artepillin C foi o flavonóide encontrado em maiores concentrações em ambas as amostras, enquanto nerolidol foi o volátil majoritário em ambos os óleos essenciais. Os compostos majoritários identificados neste trabalho podem ser utilizados como marcadores químicos para classificar de forma prática e identificar origens botânicas de própolis. Palavras-chave: composição de óleos essenciais; Baccharis dracunculifolia; própolis; Alecrim do campo; flavonóides.

“…Honeybee propolis and its components caffeic acid (CA), caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), artepilin C, quercetin, naringenin, resveratrol, galangin, genistein and other are the most promising as antitumor agents. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Propolis (bee glue) is the generic name for the resinous substance collected by honeybees from various plant sources and used by bees to seal holes in their honeycombs, smooth out the internal walls, and protect the entrance against intruders.…”
