Element Levels of Bee Pollen Mixture from Northeast Anatolia Region

In the present study, it was determined that copper, zinc, magnesium and calcium levels of bee pollen collected from Northeast Anatolian Region are sufficient to contributes to daily mineral requipment.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯

Objective & Hypothesis:Bee pollen is a bee product that resulting from gathering of floral pollen, collected from flowers and seedy plants by honey bees and stingless bee, with nectar or honey, enzymes, candle and bee secretions.

📊

Key Findings & Data:It exhibits benefical bioactive properties due to its polyphenolic compounds, flavonoids, vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins, fatty acids, various trace elements, minerals and organic compounds.In this study, the homegen mixtures of bee pollen collected from Gümüşhane (Center), Bayburt (Demirözü) and Erzurum (Arıbahçe) were subject to pre-solubilization process and the levels of Copper, Zinc, Magnesium and Calcium of these polen samples were analyzed tree times by Atomic Absorbtion Spectrophometer (AAS).

Abstract

Bee pollen is a bee product that resulting from gathering of floral pollen, collected from flowers and seedy plants by honey bees and stingless bee, with nectar or honey, enzymes, candle and bee secretions. Pollen is stored by the bees in hive to be consumed later. Because of the its nutritive properties and apitherapic functions, bee pollen has been consumed by humans for centuries. It exhibits benefical bioactive properties due to its polyphenolic compounds, flavonoids, vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins, fatty acids, various trace elements, minerals and organic compounds.In this study, the homegen mixtures of bee pollen collected from Gümüşhane (Center), Bayburt (Demirözü) and Erzurum (Arıbahçe) were subject to pre-solubilization process and the levels of Copper, Zinc, Magnesium and Calcium of these polen samples were analyzed tree times by Atomic Absorbtion Spectrophometer (AAS). The amount of copper was 8.60 ± 0.43 mg/kg, the amount of zinc was 35.30 ± 2.13 mg/kg, the amount of magnesium was 1113.33 ± 61.00 mg/kg and the amount of calcium was 1034.00 ± 53.86 mg/kg. In the present study, it was determined that copper, zinc, magnesium and calcium levels of bee pollen collected from Northeast Anatolian Region are sufficient to contributes to daily mineral requipment.

Özet

Arı poleni, bal arıları ve iğnesiz arılar tarafından çiçeklerden ve tohumlu bitkilerden toplanan floral polenlerin nektar veya bal, enzimler, mum ve arı sekresyonları ile yoğurması sonucu oluşan bir arı ürünüdür. Polen arılar tarafından daha sonra tüketilmek üzere kovanda depolanır. Arı poleni, hem besleyici özelliği hem de apiterapik fonksiyonları sebebi ile yüzyıllardan beri insanlar tarafından da tüketilmektedir. Yapısındaki polifenolik bileşikleri, flavonoidleri, vitaminleri, karbohitrat, protein, yağ asitlerini, çeşitli eser elementleri, mineralleri ve organik bileşikleri ile yararlı biyoaktif özellikler sergiler. Bu çalışmada Gümüşhane (Merkez), Bayburt (Demirözü) ve Erzurum’dan (Arıbahçe) temin edilen arı poleninden hazırlanan homojen karışım ön çözünürleştirme işlemine tabi tutuldu ve bu polen örneklerinde Bakır, Çinko, Magnezyum ve Kalsiyum düzeyleri Atomik Absorbsiyon Spektrometresi (AAS) ile üç kez analiz edildi. Bakır miktarı 8,60 ± 0,43 mg/kg, Çinko miktarı 35,30 ± 2,13 mg/kg, Magnezyum miktarı 1113,33 ± 61,00 mg/kg ve Kalsiyum miktarı 1034,00 ± 53,86 mg/kg olarak tespit edildi. Bu çalışmada Kuzeydoğu Anadolu Bölgesinden toplanan arı poleninin Bakır, Çinko, Magnezyum ve Kalsiyum düzeylerinin günlük mineral ihtiyacına katkı sağlayacak düzeyde olduğu belirlendi.
