Honey products have become an important human dietary constituent because of their nutraceutical and pharmaceutical activities. Studies on honey products have increased to inform consumers. Therefore, the antioxidant properties and phenolic and carotenoid profiles of bee pollen collected from two different regions (Black Sea and Marmara) in Turkey were studied. The antioxidant properties of 16 chestnut bee pollens were evaluated by Folin–Ciocalteu (FC), ABTS, FRAP, and CHROMAC methods. The antioxidant profiles of chestnut bee pollen were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector. The main phenolic compounds (luteolin, hyperoside, vitexin, trans-chalcone, rosmarinic acid, pinocembrin, and chrysin) and the five carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, α-carotene and β-carotene) were determined in chestnut bee pollen quantitatively. Generally, the antioxidant properties of chestnut bee pollen were mainly dependent on geographical origin. This study suggests that chestnut bee pollen from Turkey should be examined for potential health benefits.

蜂蜜产品由于其营养保健和药物活性，已成为重要的人类饮食成分。对蜂蜜产品的研究已经增加，以告知消费者。因此，研究了从土耳其两个不同地区（黑海和马尔马拉）采集的蜂花粉的抗氧化特性以及酚类和类胡萝卜素特性。通过Folin–Ciocalteu（FC），ABTS，FRAP和CHROMAC方法评估了16种板栗蜂花粉的抗氧化特性。使用带二极管阵列检测器的高效液相色谱法测定板栗蜂花粉的抗氧化特性。主要酚类化合物（木犀草素，金丝桃苷，葡萄黄素，反式板栗蜂花粉中定量测定了-查尔酮，迷迭香酸，松膜蛋白和菊花蛋白以及五种类胡萝卜素（叶黄素，玉米黄质，β-隐黄质，α-胡萝卜素和β-胡萝卜素）。通常，板栗蜂花粉的抗氧化特性主要取决于地理来源。这项研究表明，应检查土耳其的板栗蜂花粉对健康的潜在好处。
