季节是影响蜂胶化学组成和生物活性的生态因子之一。为了解季节对蜂胶品质的影响,以分别来自温带、亚热带和热带地区的不同季节中国蜂胶为材料,采用分光光度法测定其色度、特定吸收率(E1cm)以及总酚、总黄酮、黄酮-黄酮醇和黄烷酮的含量...季节是影响蜂胶化学组成和生物活性的生态因子之一。为了解季节对蜂胶品质的影响,以分别来自温带、亚热带和热带地区的不同季节中国蜂胶为材料,采用分光光度法测定其色度、特定吸收率(E1cm)以及总酚、总黄酮、黄酮-黄酮醇和黄烷酮的含量;并测定蜂胶醇提物的抗氧化及抑菌活性。实验结果相关性分析表明:季节对中国蜂胶醇提物(ethanol extract of propolis,EEP)的化学组成有显著影响,中国EEP中总酚、总黄酮、黄酮-黄酮醇和黄烷酮的含量均在7~8月为最高,9月份化学成分含量大多最低,说明其品质在8月总体最好,而9月份,中国蜂胶品质最差。不同季节EEP的总酚和总黄酮含量差异极显著,总酚最大值为(243.87±152.13)mg/g,最小值为(187.25±146.45)mg/g,总黄酮最大值为(189.34±107.51)mg/g,最小值为(122±81.02)mg/g;且季节对EEP的抗氧化活性也有显著影响;EEP的E1cm值与清除DPPH自由基活性和总酚、总黄酮的含量有显著正相关性。而季节对中国EEP的抑菌性没有显著影响。因此,季节对中国蜂胶品质有较大影响。展开更多
