This study clarifies the chemical constituents and botanical origin of Tetragonula sapiens Cockerell bee propolis collected from Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Propolis samples and resin of Mangifera indica were extracted with 99% ethanol to obtain an ethanol extract of propolis (EEP) and an ethanol extract of M. indica resin (EEM). Column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were developed and used for the separation and isolation of compounds from the ether-soluble fraction. The structure of the compounds was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic analysis, and their molecular weight analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The HPLC chromatogram of the EEP was then compared with the HPLC chromatogram of EEM to investigate the botanical origin of propolis. Five compounds were isolated from the EEP, and their structures were determined as mangiferolic acid, cycloartenol, ambonic acid, mangiferonic acid, and ambolic acid, which are cycloartane-type triterpenes. The characteristic peak of the HPLC chromatograms of EEP and EEM showed a similar pattern, which is that the main components of propolis were also found in M. indica resin. These results suggested that the propolis from Southeast Sulawesi was rich in cycloartane-type triterpenes, and the plant source of the propolis could be Mangifera indica (mango).

Bees produce propolis, a mixture of bee saliva and gum produced by leaf buds and stems, which come out through plant's skin collected by bees. 1 The physical properties of raw propolis are hard and wax-like when fresh, but soft and very sticky when warm. It has a characteristic aromatic smell and odor; its range color varies from light to dark brown, red, yellow, or green, depending on its age and source.2 Chemical composition, which bees collect from the resinous plant parts, may influence its biological effect. 3 The composition of propolis depends on diverse vegetation, phytogeographic region, and time of the collection. 4 Results from previous researchers found more than 300 components contained in propolis i.e. aromatic acids; aromatics esters; flavanones; flavones and flavonol; chalcones and dihydrochalcones; terpenoids; acyclic hydrocarbons and esters; alcohols; aliphatic acids (short-chain); aliphatic esters; aliphatic fatty acids (long-chain) and esters; amino acids; aromatic hydrocarbons; acetophenones and other ketones; glycerol derivatives; steroids; sugars and sugar alcohols; and miscellaneous ingredients. The quantification of the phytochemical content of propolis can be determined Phytochemical Profile and Antioxidant Activity of Propolis Ethanolic Extract from Tetragonula Bee ABSTRACTObjective: This research aimed to determine the phytochemical composition and the antioxidant properties in vitro of three types propolis collected from the region of South Sulawesi Province of Indonesia. Methods: Samples from three types of propolis: smooth, rough and mix were extracted with 96% ethanol. The propolis ethanolic extracts (PEE) was dried and studied their antioxidant properties by using FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) and DPPH radical scavenging assays. Total phenolic compounds were quantified by Folin-Ciocalteu, and total flavonoid contents were also quantitatively determined by the AlCl 3 colorimetric method with a microplate reader. The chemical compounds were identified by an ultraperformance liquid chromatography TOF mass spectrometer (UPLC-TOF-MS) using the MS E mode.

Background: Stingless bees is one group of eusocial insects living together in the hive. There are around 46 species of stingless bee in Indonesia with different morphological, morphometric and hive structure characteristics. This study aimed to describe the morphological, morphometric and beehives structure of Tetragonula laeviceps from Yogyakarta. Methods: Survey method is used by taking three sampling points of bamboo, house building and livestock crates in Bantul Regency. Sampling points determined by Purposive sampling method. An XSZ-107 BN binocular microscope analyzed samples of T. laeviceps with Optilab viewer and Image Raster software. Results: The results showed morphological characters of T. laeviceps are dominated shiny-black body, brownish-yellow antennas, klipeus on a head covered by fine silver hair, brownish-yellow mandible with two teeth, mesonotum in thorax covered by brownish to black hair, scutellum extended to propodeum, the ribbon of hair on the dorsal thorax is not very clear, and the hind tibia is rather hairy. Morphometric of T. laeviceps included body length between 3.44 - 3.76 mm, head width 1.55 - 1.70 mm, front wing length with tegula 3.76 - 4.37 mm, length of rear limbs tibia 1.37-1.57 mm, and the number of hamuli as many as 5. The beehive structure consisted of oval-shaped entrance formed funnel and varying internal hive in terms of the number of saplings, pollen cells, and honey cells. Conclusions: T. laeviceps have morphological, morphometric and hive structure characteristics that are different from other species and variated compared to similar species from other regions.
