Bee Products - Chemical and Biological Properties (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This fully updated and extended second edition provides a comprehensive overview of the most important products by Apis mellifera bees. The book provides an easy-to-read introduction to honey classification, sensory and pollen analysis, and a complete compendium of the chemical composition of the main bee products honey, propolis, royal jelly, pollen and bee venom. In addition, this new edition includes two brand new sections on bee bread and wax. The beneficial medicinal and nutritional aspects of these products in aging and age-related diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and infections are discussed in detail and the methods used to analyse and characterise the individual bioactive compounds are reviewed.

The book is a must for researchers in the field of biochemistry of natural products, students and professional beekeepers interested in the chemical diversity of compounds derived from bee products.

Autor

José M. Alvarez-Suarez is a full professor at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Quito, Ecuador. He has extensively studied the quality parameters of honey, especially of monofloral origin, as well as the relationship between its chemical composition and biological properties. A distinctive feature of his research is the study of the biochemical mechanisms by which honey activates antioxidant defense mechanisms at the cellular level by activating the AMPK/Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway, protecting mitochondrial functionality, and promoting cell proliferation. Additionally, his research explores the mechanisms by which honey and its components exert their antimicrobial action.
