“…The carbohydrate analysis also may help in the detection of forged RJ [ 353 , 354 , 358 , 359 ]. The ISO recommendation for the determination of the carbohydrate constituent is liquid chromatographic analysis (the reference method), titration method gas chromatographic analysis, and the Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography–tandem Mass Spectrometry (HILIC-MS/MS) method [ 13 , 358 , 359 , 360 ]. Furthermore, the authenticity of RJ production can be determined by measuring the ratio of stable C and N isotopes.…”

Royal jelly (RJ) is a highly nutritious natural product with great potential for use in medicine, cosmetics, and as a health-promoting food. This bee product is a mixture of important compounds, such as proteins, vitamins, lipids, minerals, hormones, neurotransmitters, flavonoids, and polyphenols, that underlie the remarkable biological and therapeutic activities of RJ. Various bioactive molecules like 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA), antibacterial protein, apisin, the major royal jelly proteins, and specific peptides such as apisimin, royalisin, royalactin, apidaecin, defensin-1, and jelleins are characteristic ingredients of RJ. RJ shows numerous physiological and pharmacological properties, including vasodilatory, hypotensive, antihypercholesterolaemic, antidiabetic, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-aging, neuroprotective, antimicrobial, estrogenic, anti-allergic, anti-osteoporotic, and anti-tumor effects. Moreover, RJ may reduce menopause symptoms and improve the health of the reproductive system, liver, and kidneys, and promote wound healing. This article provides an overview of the molecular mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of RJ in various diseases, aging, and aging-related complications, with special emphasis on the bioactive components of RJ and their health-promoting properties. The data presented should be an incentive for future clinical studies that hopefully will advance our knowledge about the therapeutic potential of RJ and facilitate the development of novel RJ-based therapeutic opportunities for improving human health and well-being.

Creating reliable, environmentally responsible, and effective processes that ensure the traceability, safety, and caliber of their results is one of the main challenges facing researchers doing multi-residue analysis. The QuEChERS which stands for Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe method has shown itself to be highly adaptable, yielding positive outcomes with a range of analytes. This method allows for versatility in the choice of solvents, salts, and buffers for salting-out partitioning, as well as the use of various sorbents throughout the cleanup process. QuEChERS is a more environmentally friendly sample preparation technique that fits perfectly with analytical chemistry's rising emphasis on sustainability. This review paper's goal is to illustrate the primary applications of the QuEChERS sample preparation method, with a focus on food and environmental investigations. It also covers important improvements in the history of sample preparation methods and offers insights into the classes of substances that have been effectively evaluated with this methodology.
