Commercial green
propolis, from the region of Ribeirao Preto, SP, was used as an ethanolic extract (EEP), containing 11% dry extract (w/v).
Due to the absence of studies in Alagoas with information about Red
propolis produced in the State, it is necessary to carry out studies on the bioactive potential of this natural product.
Most of the studies in the literature have investigated the antimicrobial activity of the
propolis produced by Apis mellifera.
Chemical and botanical characterization of Chilean
propolis and biological activity on cariogenic bacteria Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus.
A full hive also means the bees have had time to secure the hive with
propolis. It would take a huge storm with a lot of wind to knock over a hive that is full of honey and has been secured with
propolis.
Propolis is a composite mixture occurring in hives, containing resinous and balsamic substances.
In earlier studies, Croatian
propolis [19], Chinese
propolis, Brazilian
propolis [20], and Egyptian
propolis [21] have been found to have ameliorative effects on diabetes.
In the current investigation, we studied the antimicrobial effectiveness of five ethanolic extracts of
propolis (EEP) from different regions of Colombia against six strains of Staphylococcus spp.
In recent years focus on natural products and alternative medicines has renewed interest in bee products such as honey, royal jelly, pollen, and
propolis (2).
Propolis (bee glue) is a sticky dark-colored material that is collected from honeybee plants (buds and leaves), which is mixed with pollen as well as enzymes secreted by bees (Marcucci 1995).
