蜂胶是蜜蜂从植物上采集的一种黏性物质，在蜂巢中用作建筑材料和防御物质。自古以来，它在欧洲就作为一种药物而广受欢迎。如今，蜂胶在非处方药制剂、“生物”化妆品和功能性食品等中的使用日益增加。蜂胶中挥发性化合物的浓度较低，但其香气和显著的生物活性使其对蜂胶的特性鉴定具有重要意义。蜂胶是一种植物源性产品：其化学成分取决于采集地的当地植物区系，因此它具有显著的化学多样性。本文讨论了蜂胶挥发物在鉴定其植物来源方面的作用。综述了来自不同地理区域的蜂胶挥发物化学成分的现有数据，显示出显著的化学变异性。考虑了挥发物及其成分对蜂胶生物活性的贡献。概述了蜂胶挥发物研究的未来展望，特别是在研究抗菌以外的活性方面。
Propolis is a sticky material collected by bees from plants, and used in the hive as building material and defensive substance. It has been popular as a remedy in Europe since ancient times. Nowadays, propolis use in over-the-counter preparations, “bio”-cosmetics and functional foods, etc., increases. Volatile compounds are found in low concentrations in propolis, but their aroma and significant biological activity make them important for propolis characterisation. Propolis is a plant-derived product: its chemical composition depends on the local flora at the site of collection, thus it offers a significant chemical diversity. The role of propolis volatiles in identification of its plant origin is discussed. The available data about chemical composition of propolis volatiles from different geographic regions are reviewed, demonstrating significant chemical variability. The contribution of volatiles and their constituents to the biological activities of propolis is considered. Future perspectives in research on propolis volatiles are outlined, especially in studying activities other than antimicrobial.
