Propolis, Volatiles, Phenolic C om pounds, Poplar Bud Exudate, GC-MS Propolis was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for both its headspace volatiles and for the less volatile com ponents o f its alcoholic extract (propolis balsam). 181 peaks were located o f which 171 representing 150 compounds were identified, including 28 identified in propolis for the first time. The majority o f compounds were typical o f poplar bud exudate.
PB had the highest cyanide release at pH 1 (135 ug/g) and lowest release at pH 5.0-7.0 from the highest daily dose of PB (17.5 g) (21 ug/g). Considering the minimal lethal dose of cyanide is approximately 50 mg, the maximal cyanide released (1.6 mg) does not present a safety concern.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
