Impact of in vitro static digestion of geopropolis and propolis extracts from stingless bees on antioxidant activity and total content of bioactive compounds

Key Points

• Antioxidant activity significantly increases after in vitro static digestion, enhancing bioactive compounds.
• The study shows that geopropolis extracts have a higher total content of bioactive compounds than regular propolis.
• Assessment using in vitro digestion methods highlights the potential of bee products for health enhancements.
• Findings suggest that further investigation could promote the use of geopropolis in dietary supplements.
