| dc.description.abstract | Beebread is a honey bee product resulting from the storage and lactic fermentation of pollen within the hive. The potential use of beebread as a food supplement and nutraceutical greatly depends on its chemical richness, which varies upon the flora diversity of the region and the season of pollen collection by the bees. To evaluate the potential of this bee product as a food supplement and source of nutraceuticals, we analyzed beebread produced in the northeast region of Portugal, along with a commercial sample. The analysis focused on pollen composition, nutritional parameters (moisture, ash, fats, proteins and sugars), the presence of vitamin E, the phenolic content, and its antioxidant activity. Beebread proved to be a good source of nutrients, with high protein and carbohydrate content, where fructose and glucose were the main sugars resembling the honey sugar profile. Its nutritional value, together with the richness in phenolics and its high bioactivity, makes this product an excellent choice to be consumed as nutraceutical in food supplementation. | pt_PT |
| dc.description.abstract | El pan de abeja es un producto de la abeja de la miel que resulta del almacenaje y de la fermentación láctica del polen dentro de la colmena. El uso potencial del pan de abeja como complemento alimenticio y nutracéutico depende en gran medida de su riqueza química, que varía según la diversidad de flora de la región y la estación de recolección del polen por las abejas. Para evaluar el potencial de este producto de abeja como complemento alimenticio y fuente de nutracéuticos, se analizó el pan de abejas producido en la región noreste de Portugal, junto con una muestra comercial. El análisis se centró en la composición del polen, los parámetros nutricionales (humedad, cenizas, grasas, proteínas y azúcares), la presencia de vitamina E, el contenido fenoólico y su actividad antioxidante. El pan de abeja demostró ser una buena fuente de nutrientes, con alto contenido de proteínas y carbohidratos, en el que la fructosa y la glucosa fueron los principales azúcares que se asemejan al perfil de azúcar de miel. Su valor nutricional, junto con la riqueza en fenólicos y su alta bioactividad, hachacen de este producto una excelente elección para ser consumido como nutracéutico en la suplementación alimenticia. | pt_PT |
