Abstract
In this study, the effect of two kinds of plants sources (gymnosperms and angiosperms) on quality of propolis were compared. For this purpose, two areas with poplar (angiosperms) and Cypress (gymnosperms) plantations were selected in Khojir and Telo located near Tehran, Iran respectively. The propolis samples were analyzed by GC/MS the Folin- Ciocalteu, AlCl3 and DNP methods. Further, the antimicrobial activity of the samples was also tested against Staphylococcus aureus. Thirty eight compounds of Cypress propolis and thirty-four compounds of Poplar propolis were identified. The results indicated that poplar plants are very important for propolis production.
