    Chitosan-Based Colloidal Delivery Systems as Natural Carriers for Propolis: Physicochemical Characterization and Application in Walnut Sausages

    Mesci Dindar, Esra; Arserim-Uçar, Dılhun Keriman; Ayna, Adnan

    In this study, a chitosan-based colloidal delivery systems (CDs) was developed as a natural delivery system for phenolic compounds from propolis extracts obtained via accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) and evaluated for improving the functional properties of walnut sausages. ASE propolis extract was incorporated into a chitosan (C)-based colloidal delivery system formulated with varying concentrations of diacetyl tartaric acid ester of mono- and diglycerides (DATEM) and lecithin (L). The formulation containing 2.5% chitosan, 12% DATEM and propolis, with a particle size of 265.9 nm and a ζ-potential of +40.8 mV, was selected for further characterization and food applications. The phenolic encapsulation of CDs depended on the structural characteristics of individual phenolic compounds, with chrysin (70.51%), vanillin (65.12%), and benzoic acid (51.26%) exhibiting the highest encapsulation; CD-treated walnut sausages decreased the lipid oxidation and improved the storage stability of the walnut sausages during storage. These findings indicate that the chitosan-based colloidal delivery system is a promising carrier for improving the encapsulation of propolis phenolics in walnut sausages.

    Gültekin, Deniz Canbolat; Turan, İbrahim; Akmeşe, Osman; Gültekin, Ergün; Demir, Selim; Aliyazicioglu, Yüksel

    Propolis is a natural bee product rich in phenolic and flavonoid compounds and is well known for its remarkable biological properties. In this study, the phenolic compositions of propolis samples collected from various localities in the Caucasus region of Türkiye were characterized using LC–MS/MS, and their antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antibacterial activities were also evaluated. LC–MS/MS analyses identified caffeic acid, ferulic acid, and p-coumaric acid as the major phenolic acid compounds, while pinocembrin, chrysin, and galangin were determined as the major flavonoid constituents. Overall, these findings indicate that the antioxidant capacity of propolis samples obtained from different regions may be particularly associated with these key phenolic and flavonoid compounds. Consistent with this composition, total phenolic and flavonoid contents ranged from 34.72 to 120.54 mg GAE/g and 6.88 to 47.19 mg QE/g, respectively. The extracts exhibited a relatively high antioxidant capacity, with FRAP values between 60.47 and 311.87 mg TE/g and DPPH IC50 values ranging from 215.80 to 37.96 µg/mL. Regarding antidiabetic activity, the IC50 values for α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition were determined as 5.86–3.47 and 12.22–5.02 mg/mL, respectively, indicating a pronounced antidiabetic potential. Antimicrobial analyses revealed activity against E. faecalis, B. cereus, E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and C. albicans. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive LC–MS/MS-based phenolic profile of Caucasian propolis and demonstrates its antioxidant properties together with its antidiabetic potential.

    Evaluation of Antioxidant and Enzyme Inhibition Properties of Siran Propolis: Correlations With Phenolic Content Determined by LC–MS/MS

    Balci, Neslihan; Aslan, Kubra; Erturk, Adem; Gulcin, Ilhami

    This study evaluates the antioxidant activity, enzyme inhibition potential, and phenolic composition of ethanolic Siran propolis extract. Antioxidant capacity was measured using reducing power (CUPRAC, FRAP, and Fe3+-reducing) and radical scavenging (DPPH·, ABTS·+, and DMPD·+) assays. The extract showed strong reducing ability, surpassing standard antioxidants in CUPRAC and FRAP assays, correlating with high ferulic acid (40.40 mg/g) and p-coumaric acid (88.60 mg/g) levels identified by LC–MS/MS. While it demonstrated notable DPPH· scavenging (IC50: 30.14 μg/mL), ABTS·+ activity was weaker (IC50: 272.44 μg/mL). Enzyme inhibition assays indicated effective inhibition of α-glycosidase, AChE (IC50: 2.15 μg/mL), hCA I, and hCA II. Notably, AChE inhibition was stronger than the standard tacrine inhibitor (IC50: 8.82 μg/mL), suggesting neuroprotective potential. The observed bioactivities are attributed to synergistic effects of phenolic acids and flavonoids, including quercetin, luteolin, taxifolin, and resveratrol. These findings highlight Siran propolis as a promising natural antioxidant and enzyme inhibitor source with potential therapeutic applications and food formulations.

    Efficacy of Propolis in the Prevention of Oral Mucositis in Patients Undergoing High-Dose Chemotherapy

    Çakmak, Seher; Nural, Nesrin

    Background: Oral mucositis is one of the most common symptoms in adults with a hematological cancer who are receiving high-dose chemotherapy. Propolis is a complementary and alternative method used to prevent oral mucositis in these patients. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of propolis in the prevention of oral mucositis in patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy and/or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods: A total of 64 patients, 32 in the propolis group and 32 in the control group, were enrolled in this prospective randomized controlled experimental study. Whereas the standard oral care treatment protocol was administered to the control group, aqueous propolis extract was applied to the propolis intervention group in addition to the standard oral care treatment protocol. Data collection forms included a Descriptive Information Form, the Karnofsky Performance Scale, the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale-Geriatric, Patient Follow-up Form, the World Health Organization Oral Toxicity Scale, and the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Results: The incidence and duration of oral mucositis were statistically significantly lower in the propolis intervention group than the control group, and the onset of oral mucositis and grade 2 to 3 oral mucositis occurred later (P < .05). Conclusion: Propolis mouthwash combined with standard oral care treatment delayed the onset of oral mucositis and decreased its incidence and the number of days it lasted. Implications for Practice: Mouthwash with propolis can be used as a nursing intervention to decrease oral mucositis and its symptoms in hematological cancer patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy.

    İzol, Ebubekir; Bursal, Ercan; Yapıcı, İsmail; Abdullah Yilmaz, Mustafa; Yilmaz, İsa; Gülçin, İlhami

    Propolis is a sticky substance produced by bees because of the reaction of beeswax, pollen, and bee enzymes. Particularly, their biological activity and chemical content attract attention. Thus, in this study, the total amount of phenolic and flavonoid substances, Fe3+-Fe2+, Cu2+ (cupric ions reducing activity [CUPRAC]), and Fe3+-TPTZ (ferric ions reducing antioxidant power [FRAP]) reducing, and DPPH• and ABTS•+ scavenging assays in vitro antioxidant properties of propolis samples obtained from four different provinces of Türkiye were determined. In addition, the chemical content of propolis samples was quantitatively determined by LC–MS/MS, and the antiglaucoma property was revealed by hCAII enzyme inhibition. Propolis samples from Ordu presented the highest amounts of total phenolic and flavonoid content (492.3 ± 5.8 and 96.1 ± 2.1, respectively) and also highest antioxidant activity (DPPH• and ABTS•+ IC50 [μg/mL]: 8.884 ± 0.84 and 4.589 ± 0.80, respectively; Fe+3, CUPRAC, and FRAP: 1.051 ± 0.012, 1.021 ± 0.008, and 0.957 ± 0.007 μg/mL, respectively). hCAII enzyme inhibition was highest in Muş propolis (IC50 [μg/mL]: 8.6) as determined. By LC–MS/MS, 53 different components were screened and 35 bioactive components were determined. According to the results, propolis was found to be a raw material because it contains high concentrations of acacetin, chrysin, caffeic acid, and quinic acid (123.824, 24.759, 47.779, and 16.32 mg analyte/g extract, respectively).

    Physicochemical properties of chestnut honey vinegars enriched with pollen and propolis, and their analyses of mineral, colour, and antioxidant activity

    Kobya, H.N.; Baltaci, C.; Karpuz, O.

    Honey vinegar is little known in Turkey, while pollen- or propolis-added honey vinegar is yet to be found. Therefore, the objectives of the present work were to produce chestnut honey vinegar enriched with pollen and propolis, and to analyse their physicochemical compositions, mineral contents, colours, and antioxidant activities. Eleven different honey vinegars were produced using various methods. There were significant increases in the total antioxidant activity of both pollen- and propolis-enriched vinegars, with 73 and 56% increases, respectively, compared to plain honey vinegar, and these increases were more than twice that of grape vinegar. The ferric-reducing activity and phenolic content of vinegar enriched with propolis increased by 43 and 52%, respectively, compared to plain honey vinegar, and more than threefold compared to grape vinegar. Principal component analysis revealed a strong positive correlation among all antioxidant tests and the most significant components, including antioxidant capacity, total phenolic content, and total flavonoid content. The colour difference was determined as follows: 5 < total colour difference (∆E*ab). All vinegar samples exhibited highly variable physicochemical properties. High amounts of Na, K, Mg, and Ca were also detected. Vinegar samples containing pollen and propolis are suitable under the Turkish Food Codex legislation. The findings of the present work would encourage the production of honey vinegar enriched with pollen and propolis, as well as increase attention to honey vinegar.

    Phenolic Constituents, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activity and Clustering Analysis of Propolis Samples Based on PCA from Different Regions of Anatolia

    Altuntaş, Ümit; Güzel, İsmail; Özçelik, Beraat

    This study aimed to evaluate the biochemical composition and biological activity of propolis samples from different regions of Türkiye to characterize and classify 24 Anatolian propolis samples according to their geographical origin. Chemometric techniques, namely, principal component analysis (PCA) and a hierarchical clustering algorithm (HCA), were applied for the first time to all data, including antioxidant capacity, individual phenolic constituents, and the antimicrobial activity of propolis to reveal the possible clustering of Anatolian propolis samples according to their geographical origin. As a result, the total phenolic content (TPC) of the propolis samples varied from 16.73 to 125.83 mg gallic acid equivalent per gram (GAE/g) sample, while the number of total flavonoids varied from 57.98 to 327.38 mg quercetin equivalent per gram (QE/g) sample. The identified constituents of propolis were phenolic/aromatic acids (chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and trans-cinnamic acid), phenolic aldehyde (vanillin), and flavonoids (pinocembrin, kaempferol, pinobanksin, and apigenin). This study has shown that the application of the PCA chemometric method to the biochemical composition and biological activity of propolis allows for the successful clustering of Anatolian propolis samples from different regions of Türkiye, except for samples from the Black Sea region.

    Canbolat, Deniz; Turan, Ibrahim; Küpeli, Yunus Emre; Kilinç, Sedanur; Piliç, Sevim

    Propolis, which has been used in traditional medicine for hundreds of years all over the world, is a resinous natural product with a complex content obtained by honey bees by mixing the buds of plants and pollen grains with enzymes they secrete. Propolis may have different contents due to the gathering region, plant source, bee variety and climate of the place where it is collected. Although there are many studies related to different regions, so far the propolis of the Savsat region in Artvin have not been studied yet. The aim of this study is to determine the antioxidant properties (determination of iron reducing power, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, total phenolic and total flavonoid content) of propolis extracts of Artvin Savsat region prepared with phosphate buffer salt solution (PBS) prepared at different temperatures (45 and 60 degrees C) and to determine the erythrocyte hemolysis inhibition properties of the extracts. Total phenolic (11.91 +/- 0.5-24.14 +/- 1.38 mg gallic acid equivalent to g propolis) and total flavonoid (1.79 +/- 0.03-2.13 +/- 0.07 mg quercetin equivalent to g propolis) content of PBS extracts, iron power determination (12.80 +/- 0.36-27.15 +/- 0.12 mg ascorbic acid equivalent to g propolis), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrilhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity (%22.86 +/- 0.5-31.24 +/- 1.33) and erythrocyte hemolysis inhibition (%55.58 +/- 0.57-96.37 +/- 0.02) were determined using spectrophotometric methods. As a result of the experiments, it was determined that the extract with PBS obtained at a temperature of 60 degrees C was higher than the extract obtained at 45 degrees C, in terms of antioxidant properties and erythrocyte hemolysis inhibition ratio. Further studies are required to identify molecules that inhibit erythrocyte hemolysis in extracts and have antioxidant properties.

    Turan, İbrahim; Değer, Orhan; Aliyazicioğlu, Yüksel; Demir, Selim; Kilinç, Kağan; Sümer, Ayşegül

    Background/aim: Propolis is a bee product with antioxidative, antimutagenic, and other beneficial properties, and it is used as a natural drug. It is rich in polyphenolic compounds. Its composition varies depending on the particular geographical region. Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalanced free radical production and antioxidant system. The effects of flavonoids on the expression of DNA repair enzymes have been examined previously; however, no study has investigated the effects of propolis. This study investigated the effects of ethanolic extracts of Turkish propolis (EEP) on the expression of DNA repair enzymes. Materials and methods: The effects of EEP and tertiary-butyl-hydroperoxide (t-BHP) on cell viability were determined using MTT. DNA damage was determined using comet assay. mRNA expression of target enzymes was detected using RT-PCR. Results: According to the cytotoxicity analysis, after a recovery time of 4 h, appropriate damage agent t-BHP and optimum EEP concentrations were 300 µM and 200 µg/mL, respectively. 8-Oxoguanine-glycosylase (hOGG-1) and endonuclease-VIII-like-1 (NEIL-1) expressions increased in the positive control group (t-BHP alone) and the study group (t-BHP+EEP). Maximum increase in NEIL-1 expression was at hour 12 in the positive control group and at hour 8 in the study group. Conclusion: EEP can be considered as a potential source of functional food and pharmaceutical agents.

    Barlak, Yaşam; Deǧer, Orhan; Çolak, Meltem; Karatayli, Senem C.; Bozdayi, Abdurrahman M.; Yücesan, Fulya

    Background: Propolis is a natural, resinous hive product that has several pharmacological activities. Its composition varies depending on the vegetation, climate, season and environmental conditions of the area from where it was collected. Surface enhanced laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF MS) is a proteomic approach which has been used in cancer proteomics studies. Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in men. It has shown that nutritional supplements rich in polyphenolic compounds such as propolis play a significant role in prostate cancer chemoprevention. The aim of this study is to evaluate if protein expression profile in PC-3 prostate cancer cell lines could be differentiated when incubated with dimethyl sulfoxide and water extracts of Turkish propolis.Results: The antioxidant potentials of dimethyl sulfoxide and water extracts of propolis were found in correlation with the amount of total phenolic compounds of them. Dimethyl sulfoxide and water extracts of propolis of 20 μg/mL reduced the cell viability to 24.5% and 17.7%, respectively. Statistically significant discriminatory peaks between control PC-3 cells and dimethyl sulfoxide extract of propolis-treated PC-3 cells were found to be the proteomic features at m/z 5143, 8703, 12661, 20184 and 32794, detected by CM10 ProteinChip, and the peak at m/z 3772, detected by Q10 ProteinChip. Between control PC-3 cells and water extract of propolis-treated PC-3 cells, statistically significant discriminatory peaks were found to be the proteomic features at m/z 15846, 16052 and 24658, detected by CM10 ProteinChip and the peaks at m/z 10348, 10899 and 11603, detected by Q10 ProteinChip.Conclusions: It was concluded that dimethyl sulfoxide and water extracts of Turkish propolis may have anti-proliferative activity through differentiating protein expression profile in PC-3 prostate cancer cell lines along with their antioxidant capacity.

    Preventive and protective effects of turkish propolis on H 2O 2-induced DNA damage in foreskin fibroblast cell lines

    Aliyazicioglu, Yuksel; Demir, S.; Turan, I.; Cakiroglu, Tugba; Akalin, I.; Deger, O.; Bedir, A.

    The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential of Turkish propolis extracts if they prevent or protect foreskin fibroblast cells against hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2)-induced oxidative DNA damage. Hydrogen peroxide (40 μM) was used as an inducer of oxidative DNA damage. The damage of DNA was evaluated by using the alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay. Turkish propolis extracts at concentrations of 25, 50, 75 and 100 μg/ml were prepared by ethanol. Anti-genotoxicity was assessed before, simultaneously, and after treatment of propolis extract (50 μg/ml) with H 2O 2. The results showed a significant decrease in H 2O 2-induced DNA damage in cultures treated with propolis extract. The antioxidant activity of phenolic components found in propolis may contribute to reduce the DNA damage induced by H 2O 2. Our findings confirmed the chemopreventive activity of propolis and showed that this effect may occur under different mechanisms.
