“…Although allergy to BV has been described, it is not frequent and the use of an allergy test allows its identification in a timely manner [86,87]. The allergy to propolis, honey, royal jelly, and pollen, although they have been described, are much less frequent [88][89][90]. The medical concept for the indication of beehive products in the treatment of OA is fundamental.…”

Apitherapy for Osteoarthritis: Perspectives from Basic Research

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common rheumatic disease in the world and one of the leading causes of disability in the elderly. There is still no curative management for the disease, so the search for new therapeutic alternatives continues. Apitherapy is a therapeutic tool based on the use of beehive products used since ancient times and, at present, their mechanism of action begins to be known. Many of the mechanisms of action of the beehive products are useful for chronic articular pathophysiological processes such as those described in osteoarthritis. This article presents a review of the current state of understanding of the mechanisms through which bee venom, propolis, honey, pollen, and royal jelly may act on osteoarthritis. © 2020 S. Karger AG, Basel Apitherapie bei Osteoarthritis: Perspektiven aus der GrundlagenforschungSchlüsselwörter Apitherapie · Osteoarthritis · Bienengift · Bienenprodukte · Komplementär-und Alternativmedizin ZusammenfassungOsteoarthritis ist eine der weltweit häufigsten rheumatischen Erkrankungen und eine der führenden Ursachen für körperliche Beeinträchtigung im Alter. Eine kurative Behandlungsoption steht bis heute nicht zur Verfügung, daher wird weiter nach therapeutischen Alternativen gesucht. Die Apitherapie ist ein therapeutisches Instrument, das auf der Anwendung von Bienenprodukten beruht, die seit dem Altertum verwendet werden und deren Wirkmechanismen wir gerade beginnen zu verstehen. Viele dieser Mechanismen, über die die Bienenprodukte ihre Wirkung entfalten, spielen eine nützliche Rolle in pathophysiologischen Prozessen von chronischen Gelenkerkrankungen wie zum Beispiel der Osteoarthritis. Dieser Artikel gibt einen Überblick über den aktuellen Kenntnisstand der Mechanismen, über die Bienengift, Propolis, Honig, Pollen und Gelée royale bei Osteoarthritis wirken könnten.

“…Bauer et al proposed that pharyngeal and salivary gland secretions of the bee and pollen protein contents can both cause allergic reactions to honey (5). Aguair et al performed prick to prick tests with 9 different kinds of honey to a patient with honey-induced anaphylaxis and all of them were positive which points out that some bee proteins may be the possible allergen (6). Honeybees are the most common pollinator of thyme and it was reported that patients with allergic rhinitis sensitized to pollens of a plant family might develop systemic allergic reactions after ingestion of bee pollen that contained members of the same family (7).…”

Dried thyme, black pepper and honey are widely used worldwide. However, systemic allergic reactions to these substances are rarely reported. Here we report a 45-year-old case with multiple severe anaphylaxis to thyme, black pepper, honey and wasp, that occurred at different times. Her reactions to thyme, black pepper and wasp were IgE-mediated as confirmed with skin prick tests and/or serology. It was not possible to determine the underlying etiology of her honey allergy. Still, with her history and the risk of systemic reactions with bee secretions and/or pollen protein content of honey, she was advised not to consume any traces of the causative foods and informed about bee avoidance.

“…The inclusion of natural sweeteners, such as honey, dried fruits, and fruit pastes, increased the energy value of bars. On the other hand, it influenced their production’s technological characteristics and conditions [ 4 , 5 ]. Differences in the composition of the individual ingredients changed the nutritional matrix, creating conditions for change in the product’s nutritional, microbiological, textural, and sensory parameters [ 6 ].…”

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possibilities for using date fruit from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the formulation of a novel snack bar while replacing the used honey with date paste. The technological, textural, microbiological and sensory qualities of the obtained food products were evaluated during storage for 12 days after their production. Date palm fruit in the form of date paste was used as an ingredient in the composition of the new snack bars that also included nuts and dried fruits. Five formulations were prepared: a control bar, snack bar with 40% date paste, snack bar with 50% date paste, snack bar with 60% date paste, and snack bar with 70% dates paste. The resulting date paste’s textural characteristics supported the bonding potential of the food system and gave a sweet taste to the final product. The formulations containing 50% date paste presented the highest overall acceptability and were the formulation with the best sensory characteristics. Thus, the addition of date paste in snack bars would be a good option to develop a functional product that contributes to rational nutrition principles. The obtained values in the current study confirmed the technological and functional potential of date fruit as a product that can find adequate application in the composition of foods with functional properties.
