Proximal Chemical Analysis of Hive Products from an Apiary of Tulancingo, Hidalgo

Keywords: Beehive products, proximal chemical analysis, AOAC

Abstract

Since ancient times, the products of the beehive have been used as a medicinal remedy due to its nutritional and functional value established in various investigation through identification of compounds with important biological properties (Cornara, Biagi, Xiao, & Burlando, 2017; Tenore, Ritieni, Campiglia, & Novellino, 2012). The proximal chemical analysis (AQP), is an indispensable analytical method, carried out to determine the quality of a food product and includes the percentage of humidity, ash, fat (ethereal extract), protein and carbohydrates (Greenfield & Southgate, 2003). The purpose of the present research was to evaluate the AQP of samples of honey, royal jelly, pollen and propolis. The samples were obtained from an apiary in Tulancingo, Hidalgo. The AQP was performed according to the procedures established by AOAC 2016, AOAC 2005, NMX-F-608-2011, NMX-F-089-S-1978. The results obtained showed that the products of the beehive analyzed are similar to previous studies and also comply with the guidelines established by Mexican and other countries regulations. Beehive products from the municipality of Tulancingo Hidalgo, are considered a good source of nutrients and energy, based on quality guidelines in international and national standards, in terms of composition and nutritional value.
