Chemical Composition of Extracts of Geopropolis from Melipona quadrifasciata (Mandaçaia) Evaluation of its Antioxidant Activity

Year 2018, Volume: 1 Issue: 3 - 2nd Propolis Conference Special Issue, 16 - 16, 08.12.2018

Abstract









Currently, a group of bees called stingless bees, native
bees or indigenous bees have attracted interest. These social bees belong to
the Apidae family and are divided in three different genera:
Melipona, Lestrimelitta and Trigona.
These bees have only residual stingers, usually small wings and nests of
distinct characteristics that differentiate species
1.


These bees are of great importance in the pollination of
many cultivable species, being responsible for up to 90% of the pollination
of Brazilian native flora.
Melipona
quadrifasciata
produces geopropolis, honey and wax. Geopropolis is the
result of the bees mixing the resinous material collected from the plants
with wax and soil.  Studies of the ethanolic extract of
Melipona quadrifasciata geopropolis
seek to determine the chemical composition via ESI-MS fingerprinting, as well
as their antioxidant activity.
  Samples
collected over one year in Jarguariuna, SP showed a similar chemical profile.
Their antioxidant activity was evaluated by the DPPH method and presented
similar activity (EC
50 between 1 and 4 µg/mL) of ethanolic
solution. These results are comparable propolis of bee species
Apis mellifera 2. As these
samples were collected over one year, it will be possible to determine if
seasonality influences their chemical composition and biological activity.
