Abstract
Propolis is a chemically complex biomass produced by honeybees (Apis mellifera) from plant resins added of salivary enzymes, beeswax, and pollen. Recent studies classified Brazilian propolis into 12 groups based on physiochemical characteristics and different botanical origins. Since propolis quality depends, among other variables, on the local flora which is strongly influenced by (a)biotic factors over the seasons, to unravel the harvest season effect on the propolis’ chemical profile is an issue of recognized importance. For that, fast, cheap, and robust analytical techniques seem to be the ...
