Abstract - Validated spectrophotometric procedures were used to quantify
three main groups of bioactive substances (phenolics,
flavones/flavonols, flavanones/dihydroflavonols) in 114 samples of
poplar-type propolis from different geographic origins…
The results indicate that measuring the concentrations of groups of
active compounds, rather than individual components, is an appropriate
approach in developing quality standards for propolis.
