Abstract:

Bee products have attracted the attention of consumers and researchers due to their curative properties and their chemical composition. Propolis (Apis Mellifera, L) is one of the bee products which are formed by mixing the wax and resinous substances with glycosidase enzyme present in the spit of bees. This product is used by bees to protect the hive from external inflows, pollution and keeps under control the temperature of the bees hive. Studies have shown that propolis presents a high number of biological and pharmacological properties as antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer. In this study the extractions of propolis are carried out by liquid CO2 under pressure at 00C, 200C and 400C. Propolis is collected in the southern Albania and the amount used for every the extractions is about 16 grams. The extraction carried out at 400C gave the best yield of 9.5 %, whereas the extractions at 00C and 200C gave rise to lower yields of 1.9 % and 4.9 % respectively.
