Volatile characterization of honey with dominance of Bupleurum spinosum pollen
Elamine, Youssef; Machado, Alexandra M.; Estevinho, Leticia M.; Lyoussi, Badiâa; Figueiredo, Ana Cristina; Miguel, Maria GraçaMoroccan honey with Bupleurum spinosum (Apiaceae/Umbelliferae) as the main pollen source is locally known as Zantaz honey. In the present work, the volatiles from 18 honeys of this type, were isolated by hydrodistillation and analysed by Gas Chromatography (GC) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), for volatiles quantification and identification. The percentage composition of the volatiles and polle...

Beneficial effect of bee venom and its major components on facial nerve injury ...
Er-Rouassi, Hafsa; Bakour, Meryem; Touzani, Soumaya; Vilas-Boas, Miguel; Falcão, Soraia; Vidal, Catherine; Lyoussi, BadiâaPeripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a health problem that affects many people worldwide. This study is the first to evaluate the potential effect of bee venom (BV) and its major components in a model of PNI in the mouse. For that, the BV used in this study was analyzed using UHPLC. All animals underwent a distal section-suture of facial nerve branches, and they were randomly divided into five groups. Group 1: inju...
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....
Arbutus unedo honey and propolis ameliorate acute kidney injury, acute liver in...
Touzani, Soumaya; Al-Wailib, Noori; Imtara, Hamada; Aboulghazia, Abderrazak; Hammasd, Nawal; Falcão, Soraia; Vilas-Boas, Miguel; El Arabi, IlhamBackground/Aims: Honey and propolis have biological and therapeutic effects in various pathological and clinical conditions such as hyperglycemia and diabetes. However, the combined use of honey and propolis has not been reported. The study evaluated the protective effect of Arbutus unedo honey, propolis and their combination in streptozotocin (STR)- induced hyperglycemia, acute kidney injury (AKI), liver injur...
Antibacterial activity of Moroccan Zantaz Honey and the influence of its physic...
Elamine, Youssef; Imtara, Hamada; Miguel, Maria; Anjos, Ofélia; Estevinho, Letícia M.; Alaiz, Manuel; Girón-Calle, Julio; Vioque, Javier; Martín, JesúsThe emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria has prompted the development of alternative therapies, including the use of natural products with antibacterial properties. The antibacterial properties of Zantaz honey produced in the Moroccan Atlas Mountains against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus was evaluated and analyzed using chemometric tools. Minimum inhibitory concentrati...

Elamine, Youssef; Lyoussi, Badiâa; Miguel, Maria da Graça; Anjos, Ofélia; Estevinho, Leticia M.; Alaiz, Manuel; Girón-Calle, Julio; Martín, JesúsZantaz honey is a monofloral variety produced from the melliferous plant Bupleurum spinosum (Apiaceae), a shrub that grows mainly in the Atlas Moroccan Mountains. Determination of the polyphenol composition revealed that methyl syringate accounts for more than 50% of total polyphenols, which represents a very useful parameter for the characterization of this monofloral honey. Epicatechin, syringic acid and cate...
