Abstract
Propolis is produced by honeybees from plant
exudates. It is a natural and viscous substance known for its various bioactive
qualities which includes antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and
anticancer properties. Chemically propolis is rich in flavonoids and phenolic
complexes such as CAPE (caffeic acid phenethyl ester), which varies by
geographic and botanical origin. This article covers the pharmacological and
industrial applications of propolis. In medical studies its efficiency against
pathogens, its capability to eliminate oxidative stress and inflammation have
been reported. In addition, in the food industry, propolis is utilised as food
preservative due to its anti-microbial effect; in cosmetics, its
anti-inflammatory properties are utilised, and it’s used in the development of
active, biodegradable packaging materials, highlighting its important
cross-industry potential.
