Propolis: chemical composition, antioxidant activity and effect on human health
Abstract
Propolis has been used by humans since ancient times, it was known in Egypt and Greece. Propolis contains many biologically active compounds: antioxidants, flavonoids, phenolic acids, vitamins, etc. Due to the content of antioxidant polyphenols, propolis has high antioxidant activity and many therapeutic effects: anti-carcinogenic, antiviral, antidiabetic, antibacterial. Propolis is recognized as a therapeutic agent with cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory properties. The paper provides information on the anti-oxidant activity of propolis from 8 regions of Bashkortostan, the most honey-bearing republic of the Russian Federation.
