Table 16.1 shows the polyphenolic compounds in the different honey samples as reported by different researchers.
Chlorogenic acid, sinapic acids, gallic acid, ellagic acid, neochlorogenic, and proto­catechuic acid were detected in honey in different studies (Yucel et al., 2016; Habryka et al., 2021; Sawicki et al., 2022). Similarly, in the honey samples, sakuranetin dimer, caffeic acid, and quercetin were also determined. Similarly, Habryka et al. (2021) detected
phenolic acids and avonoids (kaempferol, chrysin, galangin, and quercetin) in Polish
honey samples. The content number detected is related to the region of honey origin. Also,
previous studies have shown a relationship between the prole of volatile compounds in
honey samples and their geographic area of origin (Yucel et al., 2016; Habryka et al., 2021; Sawicki et al., 2022).
Table 16.2 depicts the antioxidant activity of honey as determined by the ABTS and DPPH assays and the PCL method. The order of average antioxidant activity for the honey was as follows: ABTS > antioxidant capacity of lipid (ACL) (lipophilic antioxidant capacity) > antioxidant capacity of water (ACW) (hydrophilic antioxidant capacity) >
DPPH. The multioral honey samples were also tested by Sawicki et al. (2022) for the

ability to scavenge superoxide anion radicals. The higher hydrophilic antioxidant capacity of honey has been noticed in comparison to its lipophilic antioxidant capacity. The results
pertaining to honey’s antioxidant activity are consistent with the ndings from similar studies examining multioral Polish honey (Wesołowska and Dżugan, 2017).

Honey content of different avonoids originates from pollen, nectar, or propolis (Khalil et al., 2012). According to Bogdanov et al. (2008), the main avonoids found in honey are
pinocembrin, apigenin, campferol, quercetin, pinobanksin, luteolin, galangin, hesperetin,
and isorhamnetin. Table 16.3 shows the content of phenolic compounds and avonoids in different honey samples by botanical origin and year of production. Kaškonienė et al. (2009) show that heather honey contains 201.2 ±5.5 μg/g phenolic compounds. Similar
results were found in the study by Khalil et al. (2011), where the total content of phenolic
compounds in the Tualang honey ranged between 20.99 ± 0.13 μg/g and 42.23 ± 0.64 μg/g. Lianda et al. (2012) found that multioral honey has the highest content of phenolic compounds as compared to other honey types. The highest avonoid content was identied in heather honey (44.5 ±3.2 μg/g) followed by buckwheat honey (41.7 ±2.1 μg/g), lime honey (32.0 ±1.7 μg/g) and rape honey (13.5 ±1.3 μg/g) (Kaškonienė et al., 2009). Cheung et al. (2019) determined the contents of phenol compounds and avanoids in different samples of honey. They did not detect avonoids in wolfberry honey, acacia honey, and
loquat honey . The highest total content of phenolic compounds was found in Manuka honey
(250.18 ± 14.39 μg/g). On the other hand, eucalyptus honey showed the highest content of phenolic compounds (41.65 ± 10.35 μg/g) (Table 16.3).

16.3 BEE BREAD (PERGA)

The bee bread mainly includes pollen, honey, and secretions of bees’ salivary glands (Figure 16.5 and Figure 16.6). Bee bread is a high source of different compounds, which exhibit antioxidant activity . The main phenolic compounds in bee bread include quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, and luteolin. Bee breads are well known for their nutritional and medicinal values and have been employed since prehistoric times for different therapeutic purposes. Bee bread also acts as a functional food in preventing COVID-19, since bee bread possesses unique criteria as a phytomedicine that could help to protect against, fight, and alleviate severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19 infection (Mohammad et al., 2020).
One of the most important differences between bee bread and bee pollen is that bee bread is of higher biological value, better digestibility, and chemical composition than bee pollen (Kieliszek et al., 2018). Honey bees inoculate this mixture (pollen, glandular secretions, and nectar from crop) with their own microbiota. Inside the beehive, pollen is stored in the bee wax cells, where fermentation by lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus,
Enterococcus, Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus, Streptococcus, Carnobacterium, Aerococcus, Vagococcus, Oenococcus, Tetragenococcus, and Weissella) and yeasts started
(Ćirić et al., 2022).
During this fermentation process, pollen-added bee enzymes as well as enzymes produced by the bee-bread microbiome increase its nutritional value. Also, it is tempting to assume that the diverse bee-bread microbiota produces biological high compounds, thus enhancing the bioactivity of bee bread (Kieliszek et al., 2018).
Table 16.4 summarizes the phenolic compounds available in bee bread. Phenolic
compounds are dened as secondary plant metabolites with protective mechanisms.

They include a large number of phenolic acids, avonoids, proanthocyanidins, and so on
(Mohammad et al., 2020). Several studies have detected the phenolic content of bee bread (Mayda et al., 2020). In the study of Zuluaga et al. (2015), the total phenolic content of
Columbian bee bread ranged from 2.5 to 13.7 mg GAE/g. Rzepecka-Stojko et al. (2012) found that the phenolic content of bee pollen was 21.30 mg GAE/g. Čeksteryté et al. (2016) determined 23.3 mg GAE/g for bee pollen and 21.2 mg GAE/g for bee bread. In general,
kaempferol, myricetin, luteolin, isorhamnetin, and quercetin were the most detected phenolic compounds in bee bread (Vit et al., 2018). Other phenolic compounds, gallic acid, caffeic acid, and p-coumaric acid, were also detected in bee bread. It is expected that phenolic compounds in bee bread vary widely, affected by differences in bee pollen

(botanical origins), season catchment area, and geographical location (Campos et al., 2008). In general, many studies used two different methods to determine the antioxidant capacity of extracts: the DPPH and ABTS assays. Both assays have been successfully employed to estimate the antioxidant activities of bee products.

16.4 BEE POLLEN

Bee pollen contains essential nutrients. According to Campos et al. (2008), carbohydrates (13–55%), proteins (10–40%), lipids (1–13%), and fibers (0.3–20%), all contribute to the composition of bee pollen. In addition, bee pollens are rich in biologically active compounds like minerals and polyphenols. According to Habryka et al. (2016), bee pollen is used in apitherapy mainly for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Bee pollen improves blood supply to the nerve tissue, thereby increasing mental performance and eliminating the state of fatigue. Some studies have also shown a positive effect of bee pollen on some diseases of the liver, heart, and prostate. The main consumers of bee pollen are the followers of the health- and environment-conscious lifestyle, as well as the elderly (Végh et al., 2021) (Figure 16.7).

Bee pollen is a very popular bee product that is presently not dened in most national
regulations. In Europe, many studies are conducted, but little data are available from other continents. According to different studies, bee pollen is characterized by heteroge­neous food safety risks and could also be used as a potential environmental bioindicator
(Ćirić et al., 2020).
One of the major secondary metabolites of bee pollen is polyphenols. The total phenolic
content values have been reported to range from 10.8 to 17.64 mg GAE/g for walnut bee pollen (Cosmulescu et al., 2015), 28.87 mg GAE/g dry weight for chestnut pollen, and from 16 to 36 mg GAE/g for Turkish pollen. Findings have shown that bee pollen contains approximately 0.30–3.0% polyphenols (Yıldız et al., 2013).
Rzepecka-Stojko et al. (2015) showed the presence of phenolic acids (gallic, caffeic, ferulic, 4-hydroxycinnamic, 4-t-p-coumaric, and t-cinnamic acids) and some avonoids (rutin, myrycithin, quercetin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin) in bee pollen from Poland. Also, this study shows that the bee pollen did not contain some compounds detected in the samples examined in another study (Rzepecka-Stojko et al., 2015). The main compounds in the bee pollen were sinapic acid (42.80%) followed by gallic acid (21.30%) which are the indicators of antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
Many studies presented results that popular bee products have a high antimicrobial activity. The highest antimicrobial activity was exhibited by bee bread (perga), which

inhibited the growth of all the tested microorganisms (Staphylococcus aureus G3, S. aureus 629G, S. aureus ATCC29213, Listeria monocytogenes 67, L. monocytogenes 74, L. monocytogenes ATCC1912, Escherichia coli 14169, E. coli 25922, E. coli ATCC8793, Salmonella typhimurium, S. typhimurium 235, S. typhimurium 63) (Sawicki et al., 2022).
Stronger antimicrobial properties of bee bread could be related to a high contribution of gallic acid.

16.5 BEE PROPOLIS

Propolis is defined as a mixture of natural substances produced by honey bees from substances collected from parts of plants and honey bees use propolis to defend the hive (Figure 16.8). As with other honey bee products, different studies show that propolis possess very high antimicrobial effects, hence used in medicine. This effect correlated with the higher contents of polyphenols and terpenoids in propolis. The flavonoid group includes chrysin, pinocembrin, pinobenchin, apigenin, quercetin, tectochrysin, pinostrobin,
and chrysin (Przybyłek and Karpiński, 2019). Other biological compounds of propolis are
aromatic acids, among which the most often occur are ferulic, cinnamic, caffeic, benzoic, salicylic, and p
-cumaric acids (Bankova et al., 2000; Kędzia, 2006; Kędzia and Hołderna-
Kędzia, 2017). In addition, propolis also includes phenolic compounds (artepillin C), and

terpenes (Bankova et al., 2000; Kędzia and Hołderna-Kędzia, 2017; Kędzia, 2006). Kędzia
(2008) and Toreti et al. (2013) reported micro and macroelements (manganese, iron, silicium, manganese, zinc, selenium, calcium, potassium, kalium, natrium, and copper) and vitamins (B1, B2, B6, C, and E) in bee propolis. The presence of these abovementioned bioactive compounds in various proportions is responsible for antimicrobial properties of bee propolis (Pamplona-Zomenhan et al., 2011).

16.6 CONCLUSION

The antiviral activities of honey bee products were investigated in many studies against SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) during the pandemic. Polyphenols present in bee pollen and bee bread has promising activity against SARS-CoV-2. Beside polyphenols, flavonoids and isoflavones have high antiviral activity.
