- Abstract
Propolis is a natural product created by honey bees with enzymes by process nectar, pollen, and resinous plant materials. Propolis is rich in bioactive content that is used in a multifunctional way in many different sectors such as health, food, and chemistry. However, propolis cannot be consumed in its raw form due to its resin-like structure which is less soluble in water. Therefore, it is challenging to separate the bioactive part from the apolar part due to the sticky structure of the raw propolis. Propolis has around 300 chemical compounds high in flavonoid and phenolic acids, and its composition varies depending on the climate, flora, and season. For this purpose, sustainable and environment-friendly extraction methods have been developed. In this review, conventional and novel extraction methods have been evaluated particularly in terms of extraction efficiency. Among the novel propolis extraction methods, ultrasound-assisted and green solvent extraction methods have gained great interest in terms of extraction efficiency, sustainability, and low operation cost.
