Abstract
Propolis is a resin, which comes from from bee colonies and is considered a
natural antibiotic, without serious side effects, compared to synthetic treatments, and
has several pharmacological properties. Geopropolis is a mixture of clay and propolis
produced by species of stingless bees of the genus Melipona, hence the name
geopropolis. It is formed in the same way as propolis produced by other bee species. In
this review, we aim to address general aspects related to terpenoids present in propolis
and geopropolis. Here, we report the main terpenoids, their chemical structure, and
pharmacological and food industry applications
Keywords: Bess, Food Industry, Pharmaceutical Properties, Stingless Bees, Terpenoids.
