Preliminary Research on the Health-Promoting Value of Honeydew Honey Enriched with Bee Bread

Molecules, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 30(2), P. 256 - 256

Published: Jan. 10, 2025

Since the imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in body plays a significant role physiology of common, often dangerous diseases, an emphasis is placed on enriching daily diet with compounds characterized by antioxidant activity. Good sources natural are bee products such as honey, pollen, bread propolis, best path for introducing latter into mixing them honey. However, characteristics product mixtures not yet fully understood. Therefore, aim this study to verify health-promoting properties mixture honeydew honey multifloral bread. The profile phenolic compounds, radical scavenging activity, total content, diastase number, also proline HMF content were determined. obtained results indicated improved value mixture, increases activity (from 82.7 88.4%), 74.6 118.8 mg·100 g-1), 64.0 95.5 g-1) 22.6 38.8 Schade units) observed when 5% (w/w) was added. Moreover, addition provided two important flavonoids i.e., rutin kaempferol.

MELISSOPALYNOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF HONEY FROM DOLAGO VILLAGE, CENTRAL SULAWESI

Deleted Journal, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 11(2), P. 127 - 133

Published: Feb. 5, 2025

One thing that honeybees create is very beneficial to human health honey. Consequently, honey frequently faked. With melissopalynology analysis, quality can be ascertained. A technique for analyzing pollen in ascertain its botanical and geographic origin called analysis.This study uses analyze the composition of produced by Apis cerana bees Dolago Village, Central Sulawesi. The research consists five stages: collecting honey, extracting from it using a modified acetolysis method, identifying pollen, classifying last, absolute count. analysis identified 11 plant species contributing production, with Cocos nucifera as predominant (70%). Classified unifloral Group IV richness, this confirms high unique floral emphasizing potential local economic development.

Development, Optimization, and Evaluation of New Gel Formulations with Cyclodextrin Complexes and Volatile Oils with Antimicrobial Activity

Gels, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 10(10), P. 645 - 645

Published: Oct. 10, 2024

This study aimed to develop and evaluate hydrogels containing a cyclodextrin complex with clove essential oil other free volatile oils antimicrobial properties (tea tree rosemary oils), focusing on their pharmaco-technical rheological characteristics. The formulations varied in the Carbopol 940 (a hydrophilic polymer) oils' concentrations. Rheological analysis indicated that gels displayed pseudoplastic behavior, flow index (n) values below 1, ensuring appropriate consistency handling. results showed increasing concentration significantly enhanced yield stress, index, viscosity, gel B, 1% Carbopol, 1.5% tea oil, demonstrating optimal stability properties. At same time, of was found modulate gels' parameters, but effect less pronounced than gel-forming polymer. Antimicrobial testing revealed both B E (containing 2% oil) exhibited activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria,

Antioxidant activity and phenolic content of bee breads from different regions of Türkiye by chemometric analysis (PCA and HCA)

European Food Research and Technology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 250(12), P. 2961 - 2971

Published: July 18, 2024

Abstract The objective of this study was to assess the antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds bee bread samples obtained from various regions in Türkiye goal characterize classify 15 based on their geographical origins. This investigation employed chemometric techniques, specifically principal component analysis (PCA) a hierarchical clustering algorithm (HCA), for inaugural comprehensive all data encompassing bread. primary unveil potential patterns among According results, Total Phenolic Content (TPC) ranged 4.393 14.917 mg GAE/g dw, while Flavonoid (TFC) exhibited variation within range 0.681 3.504 QE/g dw. p -OH benzoic -coumaric acids were detected samples. Other identified different proportions demonstrated successful application PCA method Türkiye. results revealed effective Graphical

Antioxidant, Antitumoral, Antimicrobial, and Prebiotic Activity of Magnetite Nanoparticles Loaded with Bee Pollen/Bee Bread Extracts and 5-Fluorouracil

Antioxidants, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(8), P. 895 - 895

Published: July 24, 2024

The gut microbiota dysbiosis that often occurs in cancer therapy requires more efficient treatment options to be developed. In this concern, the present research approach is develop drug delivery systems based on magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) as nanocarriers for bioactive compounds. First, MNPs were synthesized through spraying-assisted coprecipitation method, followed by loading bee pollen or bread extracts and an antitumoral (5-fluorouracil/5-FU). loaded-MNPs morphologically structurally characterized transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area diffraction (SAED), scanning (SEM), X-ray (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), thermogravimetric analysis. UV-Vis was applied establish release profiles antioxidant activity. Furthermore, antibacterial activity of assessed. results demonstrate with antioxidant, antibacterial, antiproliferative, prebiotic properties are obtained. Moreover, data highlight improvement 5-FU MNPs' surface synergistic effects between anticancer phenolic compounds (PCs). addition, prolonged behavior PCs many hours (70-75 h) after from developed advantage, at least point view PCs.

Observation of Nine Types of Spinach Pollen Morphology by Scanning Electron Microscopy

Horticulturae, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 10(12), P. 1358 - 1358

Published: Dec. 18, 2024

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is a dioecious, wind-pollinated, and important green leafy vegetable that widely cultivated worldwide. The characteristics of spinach pollen remain unclear. Herein, we investigated the microscopic morphology nine genotypes by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Because grains are isodiametric spheroidal, following data for properties were observed: maximum diameter (27.66–33.05 um), pore max (1.26–2.57 number visible pores (30–44), density elements/100 μm2 (4.33–11.00), spinule elements/10 (4.00–5.33). These useful in distinguishing species. Furthermore, applying cluster analysis method, based on key components, varieties categorized into two main classes. results provide reference classification identification different varieties.
