- Abstract
Honeybees gather pollen grains from flowering plants and mix them with their own secretions and some nectar to form bee pollen pellets. Bee pollen is used for the nutrition of bee larvae in the early stages of their development. Besides, bee pollen is also consumed by humans after being collected by pollen traps placed at the hive entrance and processed by beekeepers. Bee pollen contains soluble sugars, proteins, carotenoids, phenolic compounds, vitamins, and minerals and has been reported to have several positive health effects such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, and antiinflammatory activity. Bee pollen is added as an additive to various foods due to its nutritional value, positive effects on health, and functional properties such as solubility, water and fat retention capacity, and emulsification. Furthermore, the increasing awareness of healthy nutrition and the tendency to seek alternative natural products increase the interest in bee pollen as well as other beekeeping products. From this point of view, this study was carried out to review the knowledge of some physical, chemical, and functional properties of bee pollen, along with its biological effects and potential use in foods.
