Propolis phenolic profile: a study in the atlantic islands of Azores. In Polyphenols Communications 2010. Montpellier. p. 495-496http://hdl.handle.net/10198/5267This work outlines a characterization of the phenolic composition of the Azorean islands propolis. For that, eleven samples from S. Miguel and Terceira islands, were extracted and characterized. According to the I-IPLC analysis, an samples showed a similar phenolic profile, with 37 compounds identified by ESI-MS analysis and UV spectra. Although the samples revealed a close phenolic composition, significant differences were found in their concentrations, probably due to variations in flora distribution around the beehive, and therefore, in resin availability for bees.engconference object
