Analysis of bioactive compounds and chemical composition of Malaysian stingless bee propolis water extracts

Propolis is a resinous substance collected by stingless bees containing bioactive compounds which exert various biological properties. The present study focused on the evaluation of chemical profiles produced by three Indo-Malayan stingless bee propolis extracted using water. Fresh propolis was coll...
