Highlights
Propolis is resinous material produced by honeybees, which collect secretions from plants organs and they are mixed with beeswax and salivary enzymes [1]
Propolis is considered only a side product derived from the hive, there is no reliable source to measure the production of Mexican propolis [6]
The chemical composition of Mexican propolis from Altiplano, Pacific Coast, Gulf and North zones is like to that reported from other temperate zones of the world
Summary
Propolis is resinous material produced by honeybees, which collect secretions from plants organs and they are mixed with beeswax and salivary enzymes [1]. Some compounds reported in the resin are phenolics, esters, flavonoids, aldehydes and alcohols. This natural product has attracted the attention of researchers because of its biological activity and the diversity of its composition. The quality of propolis or propolis products is dictated by Mexican regulation NOM-003-SAG/GAN-2017 “Propóleos, producción y especificaciones para su procesamiento”. This normative comprises a qualitative test of flavonoids and phenolics, oxidation index, Copyright © All rights are reserved by Pérez Rojas Jazmin M. Together with total flavonoid content, phenolics content in propolis is another quality characteristic in Mexican regulation NOM-003-SAG/GAN-2017, which minimum content must be 5%w/w. Argentinean and French propolis possess similar phenolic content [15,16]
