Differentiation of argentine propolis from different species of bees and geographical origins by UV spectroscopy and chemometric analysis

Bees collect vegetal resins that they mix with their wax and mechanical impurities to elaborate propolis, whose chemical composition is complex and variable depending on botanical/geographical origin, type of bee, time of year when it was produced and function in the hive. The presence of compounds...
