The Therapeutic Effects of Bioactive Compounds in Honeybee Products
Authors
Abstract:
Honey, royal jelly, propolis, and bee pollen are potentially beneficial to humans due to their bioactive agents. Different molecules of these honeybee products have been extracted and pharmacologically characterized. Phenolic acid, Major Royal Jelly Proteins (MRJPs), and oligosaccharides are major bioactive substances of these products. Propolis, especially Brazilian type, contains caffeic acid phenethyl ester and artepillin C, with immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic effects. Bee pollen has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties due to vitamins and plant phenols. Additionally, flavonoids, unsaturated fatty acids, and sterols contribute in antiatherosclerotic, antidiabetic, and hypoglycemic properties of bee pollen. In the royal jelly, there are MRJPs and hydroxy-decenoic acid derivatives, especially 10-Hydroxy-2-Decanoic Acid (10-HDA). This review study was conducted in 2016-2017 with the aim of investigating the therapeutic effects of honeybee products by searching the databases of PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, IranMedex and Google Scholar using the keywords “honey, propolis, royal jelly, bee pollen, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant". In this study, we observed that the anti-inflammatory activity, immunomodulation, nerve regulation, and the prevention of metabolic syndrome are attributed to these factors. Given the importance of discovering and access to herbal medicines, this review provided a comprehensive overview of the bioactive compounds detected in the honeybee products as well as the therapeutic effects and biological side effects of them.

Therapeutic Properties of Bioactive Compounds from Different Honeybee Products
Honeybees produce honey, royal jelly, propolis, bee venom, bee pollen, and beeswax, which potentially benefit to humans due to the bioactives in them. Clinical standardization of these products is hindered by chemical variability depending on honeybee and botanical sources, but different molecules have been isolated and pharmacologically characterized. Major honey bioactives include phenolics, ...

Nineteen domestic legume varieties, including 6 soybeans, 7 black soybeans, 4 azuki beans, and 2 mung beans, were evaluated for contents of dietary fiber, total phenolics, and flavonoids. Nine varieties of legumes (black soybean TN6, TN3, BM, and WY; soybean KS1, KS2, and KS8; azuki bean AKS5 and AKS6) were good sources of bioactive compounds and were selected for germination tests. After short...
