Floral Origin Determines the In Vitro Antibacterial Activity of Bee Pollen Collected From Western Oromia, Ethiopia

open access: yesFuture Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bee pollen has been used as a medicine and food supplement. The biological activity and nutrient composition of bee pollen depend on its floral origin. Therefore, it was aimed to determine the phenolic and flavonoid content and antibacterial activities of methanolic (99.9%) extract of bee pollens among flora. Floral origin was identified using
