SOSA-LOPEZ, Ángela Antonia; CABRERA, María Graciela e ALVAREZ, Mayra Yanet. Physical parameters and organoleptic characteristics of propolis from the province of Misiones, Argentina. J. Selva Andina Biosph. [online]. 2017, vol.5, n.1, pp.51-58. ISSN 2308-3867.
The propolises are complex resinous substances of nature origin, source whose characteristics confer him antibiotic proprieties and multiples applications. It was raised the propolis study of three locations of Misiones province, in order to determine the color, smell, taste and appearance organoleptic characteristics, ash percentage, waxes and impurities and microscopic characterization of such propolis. Various methods are applied to achieve, obtaining the organoleptic characterization of color, smell, taste and appearance, ash percentage, waxes and impurities differ according to place of origin, in both the microscopic characterization propolis also they showed different results according to the liquid used as a vehicle for suspension.
