The present study aims to formulate a stimuli-responsive hydrogel system to codeliver acacia honey and glycyrrhizic acid for topical application that will aid in absorbing wound exudates, control microbial infestation, and produce angiogenic and antioxidant effects to accelerate wound healing. Therefore, both the natural active constituents were incorporated within an hydrogel composed of poloxamer and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), where the concentrations of the polymers were optimized using Design-Expert software considering optimum values of the dependent variables, gelation temperature (34-37 °C), gelation time (<10 min), and the viscosity (2000-3500 cPs). The optimized formulation showed improved physicochemical properties such as mucoadhesiveness, porosity, swelling, and spreadability, which makes it suitable for wound application.

Indonesian stingless bee honey (SBH) of is popular and traded at an expensive price. Brown rice syrup (RS) is frequently used as a cheap adulterant for an economically motivated adulteration (EMA) in SBH. In this study, authentic Indonesian SBH of ( = 100), adulterated SBH ( = 120), fake SBH ( = 100), and RS ( = 200) were prepared.

Honey is a sweet syrup mixture substance produced by honey bees. Contradictory results have been reported on the influence of organic and conventional beekeeping on the properties of honey. The aim of this research was to determine the potential difference between organically and conventionally produced honey of the same botanical origin (linden, acacia, chestnut, meadow).

In this study, an eco-friendly and designable aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) was developed using natural deep eutectic solvents (DES) and short-chain alcohols. The formation mechanism and influence of various factors on phase behavior were investigated. Optimal extraction parameters were determined through single-factor experiments and response surface methodology (RSM): 45 °C temperature, 45 % -propanol, 40 % DES, and 0.
