Bee pollen has been promoted as a dietary supplement for humans due to its nutritional and bioactive properties. Sixty-two samples of Apis mellifera dehydrated bee pollen collected in Brazil (eight states and Federal District) were analyzed for phenolic compounds, flavonoids, antioxidant activity using DPPH, β-carotene and ORAC methods, and antimicrobial activity. The values obtained for total phenolic compounds ranged from 12.60 to 84.22 mg GAE/g bee pollen while total flavonoids oscillated between 1.90 and 36.85 mg quercetin/g bee pollen. The IC₅₀ ranged from 0.35 to 13.42 mg bee pollen/mL of extract. The inhibition percentages ranged from 52.58 to 98.37% of bee pollen extract using the β-carotene method. When measured by the ORAC method, antioxidant activity was between 132.98 and 575.85 μmols eq. Trolox/g bee pollen. Bee pollen efficiently inhibited the growth of all the microorganisms studied. Candida albicans was the most resistant, while Staphylococcus epidermides was the most sensitive.

由于其营养和生物活性特性，蜂花粉已被推广为人类的膳食补充剂。在巴西（八个州和联邦区）收集的62 份蜜蜂脱水蜂花粉样品分析了酚类化合物、黄酮类化合物、使用 DPPH、β-胡萝卜素和 ORAC 方法的抗氧化活性以及抗菌活性。获得的总酚类化合物值范围为 12.60 至 84.22 毫克 GAE/g 蜂花粉，而总黄酮类化合物在 1.90 至 36.85 毫克槲皮素/g 蜂花粉之间波动。IC ₅₀范围为 0.35 至 13.42 mg 蜂花粉/mL 提取物。β-胡萝卜素法对蜂花粉提取物的抑制率为52.58%～98.37%。当通过 ORAC 方法测量时，抗氧化活性在 132.98 和 575.85 μmols eq 之间。Trolox/g 蜂花粉。蜂花粉有效地抑制了所有研究的微生物的生长。白色念珠菌耐药性最强，表皮葡萄球菌最敏感。
