AI Article Synopsis

  • Propolis is a health food rich in flavonoids, which have beneficial medical properties and are commonly found in traditional Chinese medicine.
  • The existing methods for analyzing flavonoid content in propolis are inadequate, prompting the need for better approaches.
  • This paper introduces a new sensitive and simple method for measuring flavonoids in propolis using a specific electrochemiluminescence technique, which could help assess the quality of propolis products.

Article Abstract

Propolis is a kind of quality health foodstuff containing flavonoids, which is an important clinical effective component in many Chinese traditional medicines. The flavonoids could be used to reduce or clear free radicals, which manifests its medical functions. But there are no satisfactory methods to analyze the content of flavonoids in propolis. This paper reports a new method to determine the total effective value of flavonoids in propolis based on quenched effect for iodide-catalyzed electrochemiluminescence of luminol. It is a sensitive and simple method and might be a probable approach to examining the quality of propolis products.
