Polyphenol content and antioxidant activity of bee pollen extracts from Poland

Our study determined the effect of extraction method of bee pollen on the optimal antioxidant activity of the extract obtained. We determined the content of polyphenols and flavonoids as well as the antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of pollen loads (EEP), the pepsin extract of pollen loads (PEP), and the pepsin-digested extract of pollen loads (EEPP). The total content of polyphenols was measured using Follin–Ciocalteau reagent. The...
