Bee Products - Chemical and Biological Properties
This book presents an updated discussion of the chemical composition and biological properties of the main bee products. Specific attention is focused on the beneficial biological activities of bee products in human health. Honey, royal jelly, propolis, bee pollen and bee venom are used as nutriment and in traditional medicine. Their composition is rather variable and depends on the floral source and external factors, such as seasonal, environmental conditions and processing. Bee products are rich in several essential nutrients and non essential nutrients, as sugars, minerals, proteins, free amino acids, vitamins, enzymes and polyphenols, that seem to be closely related to their biological functions. The effects of these products in nutrition, aging and age-related diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and pathogen infections are discussed.

Emerging Approaches in Food, Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical Technology development
Honey is a sugary food substance having high sugar concentration (reduced water activity), hydrogen peroxide and low pH 3-4 (acidic). There are various types of honey, which are classified on different basis such as based on origin, based on the floral source etc. It is a supersaturated sugar solution predominantly glucose and fructose. It’s colour varies from colourless to dark brown. It is a natural antimicrobial substance that kills microbes by acidity, osmolarity and enzymatic production of hydrogen peroxide. In ancient time, it was valued for its medicinal properties. Now days it is still used as preservative and make a different kind of dishes also alcoholic drinks. It has a greater ...
Honey Bees, Beekeeping and Bee Products
Honey bees are social insects; they live together in large, well-organized family groups comprising three castes: queen (fertile female), workers (sterile females) and drones (males). During honey flow season, there is a considerable increase in the foraging activity of the workers and in the rate of egg laying by the queen. Sex determination in honey bees involves a multi-allelic locus, such that homozygotes develop as males and heterozygotes as females, whereas diet quality influences the caste determination in honey bees. Like all living organisms, honey bees can be infested with diseases and pests. Some of these are more deleterious to bee colonies than others, but it is important for th...
