In the last recent year propolis gained lot off interest. As a natural product, propolis is regarded as a safe substance with a large spectrum of biological properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immune stimulant, anticancer etc. Propolis chemical composition is extremely complex and depends mainly on geographic and botanical origin. More than 500 compounds have been isolated and identified till now.
However, few studies have been performed on Algerian propolis. The lack of investigations concerning both its chemical composition and biological properties are limiting its potential uses and applications. We reported in the present presentation our main results concerning investigation of chemical composition, biological properties and botanical origin of Algerian propolis.
