Physicochemical Composition Of Bee Pollen From Eleven Brazilian States [fizykochemiczny Skład Pyłku Pszczelego Pochodza{ogonek}cego Z Jedenastu Stanów Brazylii]

The physicochemical composition (ash, lipid, protein, glucose, fructose and free acidity) of Brazilian bee pollen (154 samples) from 23 production sites of 11 Brazilian states was analyzed. The data showed wide within-state and between-state variations: 1.33 to 4.13 g/100 g for ash, 4.01 to 13.32 g/100 g for lipid, 12.28 to 27.07 g/100 g for protein, 6.99 to 21.85 g/100 g for glucose, 12.59 to 23.62 g/100 g for fructose, and 105.3 to 609.9 meq/kg for free acidity. The results are compared to data obtained in previous studies and the regulatory quality standards and the nutritive value for the human diet are discussed.552107116Almaraz-Abarca, N., Campos, M.G., Ávila-Reyes, J.A., Naranjo-Jiménez, N., Corral, J.H., González-Valdez, L.S., Antioxidant activity of polyphenolic extract of monofloral honeybeecollected pollen from mesquite (Prosopis juliflora, Leguminosae) (2007) J.
