Investigation of Phenolic Content of Propolis Produced in Yigilca District of Duzce Province in Western Black Sea Region of Turkey
Abstract
With the increase of consumer consciousness in recent years, the use of natural products has gained importance in many sectors such as food, medicine, cosmetics and Propolis is one of these natural products. The purpose of this study was to investigate the chemical compositions of propolis samples from the Yigilca town of Duzce province of in the western Black Sea Region of Turkey due to its medical and biological availability. Raw propolis collected from plastic propolis traps put into top of the hive from different apiaries and Duzce University Beekeeping Research, Development and Application Center (DAGEM). Ethanolic propolis extract was prepared and analysis was performed using a high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detector (HPLC-DAD). The results demonstrated that Biochanin, Gallic Acid, CAPE, Pinostrobin and Pinobankstin were seen dominantly and they belong to the flavonoid group. It has been observed that all of the samples contained different bioactive compositions at different levels. It was observed that the chemical contents were different even in the samples obtained from the same region. In conclusion, the contents and properties of the propolis samples obtained from the same region may be different although the chemical content of propolis are largely dependent on many factors such as flora, geographical location, honeybee subspecies, solvent. So it is important to understand chemical compound for the propolis standardization in beekeeping.
