Comparison of the Antioxidant Activity of Propolis Samples from Different Geographical Regions.

Propolis composition depends on several factors. The classification of propolis is based on its geographical location, color and agricultural characteristics. It is also classified according to the flora where the bees collect the resins, which represent the raw material for propolis production.

Comparison between Phenolic Content, Antioxidant, and Antibacterial Activity of Algerian and Turkish Propolis.

Background: Propolis is a natural resinous material produced by honeybees. The biological activity and phenolic profile of propolis were largely studied all over the world. However, only a few investigations have been carried out on Algerian and Turkish propolis.

Pollen Beads: A New Carrier for Propolis Active Compounds.

Background: Pollen and propolis are two bee products with highly health promoting properties. But there are some limitations of raw propolis usage not only in daily consumption but also in putting it in food formulations. Propolis should be extracted to convert it into consumable form and ethanol is the first choice as a solvent.
