Article Synopsis
- Propolis, a substance made by honey bees from plant secretions, was studied to analyze its phenolic content and antioxidant activity across different locations and under varying solvents and temperatures.
- The results indicated that the highest levels of total polyphenols and flavonoids were found in ethanolic extracts at 60°C, while antioxidant power did not vary significantly between temperature conditions.
- The study concluded that differences in phenolic content and antioxidant activities are mainly influenced by the solvent polarity and temperature rather than geographic location, highlighting the potential for further research on Caucasian bee propolis.
