Exploring the phytochemical profiles and antioxidant activity of propolis and their potential applications
Author(s): Deepa Kumari and Farheen Jahan
Abstract: We have performed a detailed study on the phytochemical profile and antioxidant activity of the aqueous extracts and ethanol extracts (AEP and EEP respectively) of the Propolis, also known as Bee Glue. The antioxidant activity of the extracts was measured by in-vitro chemical analyses involving the assays of (1) 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity (2) Ferric ion reducing power. In all the assays, AEP showed significantly greater activity over EEP. This work provides a scientific support for the high antioxidant activity of this Biogenic material and thus it may find potential applications in the treatment of the diseases caused by ROS.
