Abstract
Nutritional composition and phenolic compounds of raw propolis collected from falseacacia (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) and chestnut tree (Castanea crenata), and their 70% ethanol extracts of propolis (EEP) were analyzed. Propolis had high crude lipid content, but no significant differences in general compositions in terms of collection area and plant origins. Mineral contents varied greatly depending on the plant origins, with falseacacia propolis showing the highest mineral content. Sixteen amino acids were analyzed, among which aspartic acid content was the highest at $328.4{\sim}410.6\;mg%$ and methionine the lowest at $0{\sim}21.1\;mg%$. Extraction yield for EEP was relatively high at $64.2{\sim}81.9%$, and total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were $13.9{\sim}23.7$ and $8.6{\sim}10.8%$, respectively. HPTLC and HPLC analysis on the phenolic compounds revealed the overall chromatographic patterns were almost equal, showing similar polyphenol compositions between the propolis. About 16 peaks were identified by HPLC analysis, among which 6 peaks of p-hydroxy benzoic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, and chrysin were identified.
