Measuring antioxidant capacity and antioxidant activity of propolis Karaj City In different months and different places a hive

 
Our purpose aim in this study is to determine antioxidant power and antioxidant capacity compounds from honey bee hives setteled in Karaj. For this purpose, through Completely Random Design with 3 treatments (propolis harvesting time), and 6 repetitions(hive), the propolis from 6 hives were used in June, July , and August. After harvesting the samples ethanol extract was prepared, afterwards standard methods were used for evaluation. In order to gage to measure Antioxidant potency FRAP method, and to measure Antioxidant activity DPPH method were used. The collected data were analyzed with SAS software  by  GLM method. The results showed that Antioxidant power between the months of August and July to June was significantly different (0/05>p). The highest amount of antioxidant power of propolis in August were at a rate of 3305/27 µmol. The antioxidant activity between August and July and June were significantly different (0/05>p). The highest amount of antioxidant activity of propolis in August were at a rate of 52/42 percent. There was no significant difference between different regions as well as in a hive, but traps was the highest amount of antioxidant power and antioxidant activity.
