Abstract

Researches on bee products have become popular in recent years. In fact, the content and component of bee products varies depending on many ecological and floristic factors and its nutritional and therapeutic properties are directly related to its content. Balveren (Şırnak province) beekeepers place their hives in locations with different geographical structure, floristic and topographic characteristics. This variability not only affects the quality of honey but also changes the properties of propolis. Studies on propolis, known as bee glue, have gained importance in recent years. As with other bee products, the propolis content also depends on the floristic characteristics of the region. In this study, propolis samples were collected from the regions where Balveren beekeepers stayed and their botanical origins, wax ratios, phenolic content, and mineral substance contents were analyzed. In the microscopic analysis, pollen grains belonging to 14 different families used by bees were determined. It was determined that the total phenolic and mineral contents of propolis vary completely depending on the location. With this study, the propolis properties of the hives in the region were tried to be revealed and it was aimed that this study would help the region's propolis to be used for technological and therapeutic purposes.

Balveren (Şırnak) Arıcılarının Konaklama Alanlarındaki Propolis Örneklerinin Botanik Kökeni ve Mineral İçeriğinin Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Arı ürünleri ile ilgili çalışmalar gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Aslında arı ürünlerinin içeriği, bileşeni; ekolojik ve floristik birçok faktöre bağlı olarak değişkenlik göstermekte, besleyici ve tedavi edici özelliği ise içeriği ile doğrudan ilişkilidir. Balveren beldesi (Şırnak) arıcıları kovanlarını; coğrafik yapısı, floristik ve topografik özellikleri farklı lokasyonlara yerleştirmektedirler. Bu değişkenlik balın kalitesini etkilediği gibi propolis özelliklerini de değiştirmektedir. Kovan yapıştırıcısı olarak bilinen propolis ile ilgili çalışmalar son yıllarda önem kazanmaktadır. Diğer arı ürünlerinde olduğu gibi, propolis içeriği de bölgenin floristik özelliklere bağlıdır. Bu çalışmada Balveren arıcılarının konakladıkları bölgelerden propolis örnekleri toplanmış, botanik orijinleri, mum oranları, fenolik madde içerikleri ve mineral madde miktarları analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan mikroskobik analizlerde arıların kullandığı 14 farklı familyaya ait polen taneleri tespit edilmiştir. Fenolik madde ve mineral madde içeriklerinin ise tamamen propolis örneği alınan lokasyona bağlı olarak değişkenlik gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma ile bölgede bulunan kovanların propolis özellikleri ortaya konulmaya çalışılmış ve yapılan çalışmanın bölge propolislerinin teknolojik ve tedavi edici amaçlar ile kullanılmasına yardımcı olması hedeflenmiştir.
