Abstract:
With improving living standards, people have greater expectations of food quality. The safety of food preservatives and food preservation packaging is highly valued. Propolis is a natural gelatinous solid substance formed by bees collecting and processing resin materials. It is rich in various active ingredients and has functions such as antibacterial and antioxidant. It is considered an ideal food preservative with broad application prospects in food preservation. Propolis has a bitter taste and aromatic aroma, and its use as a food additive is limited by concentration and dosage. In recent years, to improve the utilization rate of propolis in food, the combination of propolis with microcapsules, film casting, and other technologies has expanded the application of propolis in food preservation. This study explains in detail the classification, chemical composition, and physicochemical properties of propolis. The antibacterial mechanism, antioxidant mechanism, and good film-forming properties of propolis were reviewed, and the progress of propolis application in food preservation at home and abroad was summarized. To provide theoretical and technical support for promoting the practical application of propolis in the food preservation industry.
