ABSTRACT

Introduction: Gliricidia sepium is a multi-purpose melliferous forage tree of interest to natural medicine. Production of propolis from exudates of various plants is a source of bioactive compounds.
Objective: Evaluate the antioxidant activity of ethanolic extracts and essential oils obtained from Gliricidia sepium and propolis from Melipona beecheii.
Methods: Ethanolic extracts were obtained from G. sepium flowers and bark during the flowering season and from propolis and flowers from the plant. Determination was made of total flavonoids and phenols, total antioxidant capacity and ferric reducing power of each of the extracts and oils. Data were analyzed by simple analysis of variance. Use was made of Infostat statistics package, free version. Comparison of means was conducted by Duncan's multiple range test with a significance level of p < 0.05.
Results: The propolis essential oil was the most active in the total antioxidant capacity test. The total amount of phenols detected in the samples ranged between 37.9 and 116.3 mg of gallic acid/g of dry material, whereas the content of flavonoids ranged between 7.51 μg/g and 13.18 μg/g. Ferric ion reducing percentage was highest for the propolis oil (95.2%) and 82.2% for the G. sepium flower oil.
Conclusions: In the four biological assays conducted propolis obtained the best results, both as ethanolic extract and as essential oil. It could therefore become a good candidate for use in Cuban industry and medicine.
