What is propolis powder?
Propolis powder is a powdered propolis product produced through an advanced low-temperature extraction and purification process, boasting a propolis content of up to 98%. The production process utilizes low-temperature pulverization and hot air drying, along with the addition of food-grade silica as an anti-caking agent. This allows the final propolis content to be precisely controlled within a range of 30%-80%. This product boasts excellent properties such as being beeswax-free, uniformly controlled particles, excellent dispersibility, and resistance to agglomeration, significantly enhancing processing convenience and transport stability. Propolis powder is widely used in the food industry (such as propolis health tablets and capsules), pharmaceuticals (antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory preparations), and daily chemical products (toothpaste, soap, and cosmetics). Key product quality indicators include the content of propolis active ingredients and particle fineness.
Production Process
Propolis powder is refined using a modern production process. It uses wax-free purified propolis fluid extract as the raw material. After hot air drying to form solid propolis blocks, it undergoes fine grinding and screening, and ultrafine silica is added as an anti-caking agent. The result is a composite powder composed of purified propolis and silica. This production process is highly controllable, allowing precise adjustment of the propolis content (adjustable from 30% to 80%) and powder particle size to meet customer needs. It also supports customized formulation design and the flexible addition of various functional excipients to meet the specific requirements of different applications.
What are the benefits?
Anti-inflammatory Effects
Propolis extract exerts its antibacterial effect by enhancing bacterial cell membrane permeability. Its antibacterial activity is pH-dependent (the lower the pH, the greater the effect), with an antimicrobial spectrum showing Gram-positive bacteria > Gram-negative bacteria > Aspergillus niger. Studies have demonstrated that it not only possesses broad-spectrum antibacterial and antiprotozoal activity but also exhibits synergistic effects when used in combination with antibiotics, demonstrating unique therapeutic value in the prevention and treatment of skin diseases.
Antioxidant Effects
The antioxidant activity of propolis is positively correlated with its flavonoid and phenolic acid content. This property has led to its widespread use as a natural preservative and antiseptic in the food industry and has also found significant application in cosmetics. Its antioxidant mechanism is primarily based on the free radical scavenging ability of phenolic hydroxyl groups.
Hepatoprotective and Kidney-Protective Effects
Recent research (Luo Ying et al.) demonstrates that propolis ethanol extract improves kidney damage in type 1 diabetes through dual mechanisms:
- Lowering blood sugar levels
- Enhancing the body's antioxidant defense system
This finding provides new evidence for the use of propolis in metabolic diseases.
Special application value
(1) Natural anti-mite agent: Controls bee mites through nerve anesthesia
(2) Immune adjuvant: Successfully used in the development of inactivated fowl cholera propolis vaccine since 1969
These properties expand the application space of propolis in agriculture and veterinary fields.
Product Applications
Because propolis powder contains no wax and silica, it disperses easily, resists clumping, and is easy to store, transport, and use. It is currently an ideal product for food, pharmaceutical, and daily chemical companies.
Food: With the current boom in the health food industry, the benefits of propolis powder are widely known, accounting for 30% to 90% of all propolis tablets, capsules, liquid propolis, tinctures, and other health food products!
Medical: The pharmacological properties of propolis are well known, and it has been shown to be effective in boosting immunity, providing antioxidants, protecting the liver, lowering blood lipids and blood sugar, and treating bacteria, inflammation, and viruses, as well as various skin conditions, digestive and urinary tract disorders, bronchitis, and oral ulcers.
Daily Chemicals: The active ingredients in propolis, such as flavonoids, flavonols, terpenes, enzymes, multiple vitamins, polyphenols, polysaccharides, resins, and organic acids, are widely used in antibacterial and anti-inflammatory toothpastes, antibacterial soaps, and cosmetics.
