Extracts From Grapefruit ( Citrus paradisi ) Peel via Microwave‐Assisted and Conventional Extractions: Evaluation of Nosema Infection and Toxicity in Honey Bees
Key Points
This research aims to evaluate the effects of grapefruit peel extracts on Nosema infection and toxicity in honey bees.
Used optimized phenolic-rich extracts from grapefruit peel
Compared microwave-assisted and conventional extraction methods
Assessed health effects related to Nosema infection in honey bees
Extracts may provide some support against Nosema infection
Further research is encouraged to explore bee health improvements
Abstract
Optimized phenolic-rich extracts have mild health-promoting effects and may offer mild support against Nosema, encouraging further research into bee health and disease management.
