In this research, five propolis samples
collected from Turkey were investigated to observe the correlation between
botanical sources and chemical contents of the samples and in this way
emphasize the influence of botanical sources of propolis on its chemical
characterization. As a first step, to determine the botanical sources of the
samples, microscopic analysis was performed. According to the microscopic
analysis results; two samples that were collected from Rize (P1 and P2), were
characterized as most probably being chesnut propolis; while one sample
collected from Tekirdağ (P3) was evaluated as being a mixed type, in the other
Tekirdağ sample (P4), the pollens belonging to the taxa of the Brassicaceae
family were found as dominant. The sample collected from Sivas (P5); was also
recognized as  mixed type. The second
step of the research was the chemical analyses of the propolis samples.
According to the results; the balsamic contents of the propolis samples ranged
between 59.97 and 83.31%, total phenolic contents were ranged between
27.56±0.05 and 171.93±0.28 mgGAE/g. The minimum flavone and flavonol content of
0.28±0.01% was found in the P1 sample described as chesnut propolis and
colected from Rize. The maximum value 5.1±0.07% was found in the P4 sample as
was total phenolic content. Flavanones and Dihydroflavonols contents varied
between 6.58±0.009-12.94±0.007%. According to the GC-MS results the
investigated samples contained compounds belonging to the various groups. With
regard to the Excel correllation,  the
balsamic content showed a negative correlation with total phenolic content,
flavone and flavonol content, flavanones and dihydroflavonols content.
