Electrochemical determination of antioxidant activity of different bee products

Abstract

Bee products are of great benefit to the human body and have a good scavenging effect on free radicals in the human body. These products are rich in flavonoids and terpenes and have good antioxidant activities. Bee products can scavenge free radicals produced by the human body. Therefore, studies of the antioxidant activities of bee products are of great significance to human life and health. In this study, we proposed an electrochemical sensing platform based on the silver ion cross-linked hydrogel for the evaluation of three different bee products. After optimization, the antioxidant performance of the three bee products follows the following order: Royal jelly > honey > honeybee pupa. In addition, the proposed electrochemical sensing platform also exhibits excellent reproducibility and stability.
