Bu çalışmada, cam matara sistemlerinde propolisin bakteriyel kontaminasyonu önleyici potansiyeli, güncel literatür ışığında kapsamlı ve eleştirel bir perspektifle incelenmiştir. Propolisin kimyasal bileşimi, fenolik bileşiklerin yoğunluğu ve antimikrobiyal etki mekanizmaları detaylı olarak ele alınmış; farklı yüzeylerde, özellikle cam ve seramik malzemelerdeki uygulama örnekleri üzerinden potansiyel kullanım alanları değerlendirilmiştir. Literatürde propolisin, özellikle gram-pozitif ve gram-negatif bakterilere karşı etkinliği birçok çalışmayla desteklenmekte olup, bu etkinin cam yüzeylerde mikrobiyal kolonizasyonu önlemede önemli bir katkı sağladığı gözlemlenmiştir. Ayrıca, propolisin biyolojik uyumluluğu, düşük toksisite profili ve doğal yapısı, cam mataralarda sürdürülebilir ve çevre dostu bir antibakteriyel ajan olarak kullanılmasını mümkün kılmaktadır. Bu kapsamda, propolis bazlı uygulamaların geliştirilmesi, ürün hijyenini artırırken aynı zamanda kullanıcı sağlığını koruyan yenilikçi bir yaklaşım olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Çalışma, mevcut literatürün detaylı bir sentezini sunarken, bu alanda yapılacak deneysel çalışmalar için sağlam bir temel oluşturmayı amaçlamaktadır. Böylece, propolisin cam mataralar ve benzeri içme sistemlerinde uygulanabilirliği üzerine yeni araştırmaların teşvik edilmesine katkıda bulunulması hedeflenmektedir.

Antibacterial Potential of Propolis in Glass Flask Systems: A Literature-Based Review

Öz

This study comprehensively and critically examines the antibacterial potential of propolis in glass water bottle systems, based on current literature. The chemical composition of propolis, the abundance of phenolic compounds, and its antimicrobial mechanisms of action are discussed in detail. Potential applications are evaluated through examples of its use on various surfaces, particularly glass and ceramic materials. The literature supports propolis’s efficacy against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, highlighting its significant contribution to preventing microbial colonization on glass surfaces. Moreover, the biocompatibility, low toxicity profile, and natural origin of propolis make it a sustainable and environmentally friendly antibacterial agent for use in glass water bottles. In this context, the development of propolis-based applications emerges as an innovative approach that enhances product hygiene while protecting user health. This study aims to provide a detailed synthesis of the existing literature and establish a solid foundation for future experimental research. Thus, it contributes to encouraging new investigations into the applicability of propolis in glass bottles and similar drinking systems.
