Abstract

The Iranian ethalonic extract of propolis (EEP) were analyzed to determine their antioxidant activities and total phenolic and flavonoid contents, with and without gamma irradiation processing under various dosage of gamma (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 kGy). The analysis results show that the gamma irradiated EEP at 10 KGy can scavenge free radicals and exhibit higher antioxidant-reducing power to the other groups (P < 0.05). It is noted that gamma irradiated EEP has higher total phenolic contents compared to gamma irradiated EEP at 30, 40 and 50 KGy and non-irradiated EEP (P < 0.05). The flavonoid compounds as indicated by C-13 NMR analysis were found to be higher in gamma irradiated EEP at 10 kGy compared with the other groups. In conclusion, gamma irradiation processing of EEP causes can enhanced antioxidant activities phenolic and flavonoid compounds at dose of 10 KGy.
