Bee bread is the only fermented product of beehive. It constitutes main source proteins, lipids, vitamins, and macro- microelements in honeybee nutrition it exerts antioxidant antimicrobial properties, though research on these aspects has been limited so far. In this study 18 samples Greek bee bread, two which were monofloral, collected during different seasons from diverse locations such as Crete Mount Athos tested for their bioactivity. Samples analyzed antibacterial activity, total...
Bee-collected pollen (BCP) and the naturally fermented BCP product known as bee bread (BB) are functional foods renowned for their nutritious, antioxidant, antibacterial other therapeutic properties. This is first study employed to assess antiviral activity of BB against influenza A virus (IAV) H1N1 along with proteinaceous, aqueous n-butanol fractions. Additionally, artificially has been evaluated IAV (H1N1). Antiviral was assessed in vitro by comparative real-time PCR assay. IC50 values...
Bee bread is derived from bee collected pollen which processed by the bee, fermented and stored in hive. Few studies have assessed antimicrobial activity of against major bacterial pathogens fungi. However, to best our knowledge, neither nor bread, so far been investigated for their antiviral properties. In present study, 18 Greek 2 samples different botanical sources geographical locations were regarding vitro Enterovirus D68. A cell culture assay combined with a comparative Real-Time PCR...
Honey bees face new challenges, ranging from climate crisis to emerging pathogens such as Vairimorpha (Nosema) ceranae that synergistically cause a syndrome designated colony collapse disorder (CCD). This study employed metataxonomic approach in order investigate if V. affects gut microbiota (bacteria and fungi) of adult A. mellifera honey well bee bread (BB) stored colonies demonstrating severe infection (spore counts >2,500,000 per bee) compared with exhibiting very low spore...
Within the large family of Dioscoreaceae, Dioscorea communis (L.) Caddick & Wilkin (syn. Tamus L.) is considered among four most widespread representatives in Europe, and it commonly known under name black bryony or bryonia. To date, reports have revealed several chemical components from leaves tubers this plant. Nevertheless, an extensive phytochemical investigation has not been performed on its berry juice. In present study, metabolite profiling procedures, using LC-MS, GC-MS, NMR...
Bee-collected pollen (BCP) and bee bread (BB) are honey products known for their beneficial biological properties. The main goal of this study was to investigate BB microbiota its contribution bioactivity exerted by BB. samples collected at different maturation stages investigated via culture-independent (Next Generation Sequencing, NGS) culture-dependent methods. Microbial communities dynamically fluctuate during maturation, ending in a stable microbial community structure mature Bee...
