The chemical composition of propolis depends on the botanical ecology of each area and by the bee race, but generally, it is compose 50% of resin and balm, 30% of wax, 10% of essential and aromatic oils, 5% of pollen and 5% of several other substances. Until the moment they were already more than 200 chemical compounds identified in the propolis, like flavonoids, aromatic acids, terpenoids, aldehydes, alcohols, aliphatic acid and esters, amino acids, steroids, sugar, etc.
Recent studies on tropical, especially Brazilian, samples lead to the discovery of new antibacterial compounds. A number of them are phenolics and their derivatives, although completely different from those found in European propolis. The most important ones are carbon-prenylated derivatives of p-coumaric acid, the 3,5-diprenyl-p-coumaric acid being one of the major antibacterial compounds in Brazilian propolis (Aga et al., 1994).
In countries of temperate climate from Europe and North America, the vegetables producing propolis are very few. The poplar, Populus L., of the family of Salicaceae is the main source. This vegetal species still can be found in Asia and North Africa. However, it is not regular in the tropics.
Intensive researches performed in the Brazilian Green Propolis reveal that these compounds are the agents for its several physiologic actions: anti-microbe (it works as a natural antibiotic), anti-inflammatory, healing, anesthetic, antioxidant (it combats free radicals), anti-fungal, anti protozoa, antiviral and also anticancer.
Uniflora Propolis Extracts are made with 100% Brazilian Green Propolis highly concentrated (consider one of the best of the world), obtained starting from controlled raw propolis, collect in areas free of contamination, using equipment developed to maximize the extraction process.
