CarmenNowadays, bee products are commended by consumers for their medicinal and dietary properties. This study aimed to differentiate between monofloral bee pollens originating from Portugal using phenolic and volatile profiles and investigate their antioxidant and cytotoxic activity. Total phenolic and flavonoid compounds were recorded between 2.9-35.8 mg GAE/g and 0.7-4.8 mg QE/g, respectively. The LC/DAD/ESI-MSn a...
Evaluation of antioxidant and anticancer activity of mono- and polyfloral moroc...
Aylanc, Volkan; Larbi, Samar; Calhelha, Ricardo C.; Barros, Lillian; Rezouga, Feriel; Rodriguez-Flores, Maria Shantal; Seijo-Coello, M. CarmenBee pollen is frequently characterized as a natural source of bioactive components, such as phenolic compounds, which are responsible for its pharmaceutical potential and nutritional properties. In this study, we evaluated the bioactive compound contents of mono- and polyfloral bee pollen samples using spectroscopic and chromatographic methods and established links with their antioxidant and antitumor activity....
Differentiation of bee pollen origin through phenolic and volatile profiles
Larbi, SamarNowadays, bee products are notably commended by consumers for medicinal and dietary purposes. Bee pollen is particularly used as a precious source of nutritious compounds like proteins (which includes enzymes), carbohydrates, lipids, minerals as well as a large range of secondary plant metabolites (polyphenols, carotenoids, tocopherol and vitamins). According to the literature, bee pollen possesses great potent...
