Health Benefits of Royal Jelly We know honey bees for the sweet honey they provide. However another nutritious fluid is collected from the bee hive – Royal Jelly. As the name suggests, it has some royal connection. We all know that bees are classified in various categories based on their work – worker bees, fighter bees and queen bees. What is royal jelly? Royal jelly similar to honey is secretion of honey bees to feed queen larvae. Royal jelly is used for development of queen bees. Royal jelly is also known by some other names such as bee saliva, bee spit or bee milk. Royal jelly contains special amino acid – royalactin which causes larvae to develop queen morphology. These larvae grow larger and develop ovaries. Queen bees are known to live longer than normal bees and can live upto 5 years; all these are attributed to the special nutrients fed to queen larvae through royal jelly. Harvesting Royal Jelly: Commercially sold natural Royal Jelly is harvested by stimulating the bee hive to produce queen bees, also called queen rearing. When queen larvae are 4 days old, they are separated from the hive to collect the royal jelly. This results in worker bees feeding other larvae for their queen. Though royal jelly is fed to all larvae, however it is commercially possible to extract royal jelly from the queen cells. It is possible to produce around 500 gm of royal jelly from a well maintained beehive during season which lasts for half a year. However, royal jelly is perishable in nature and needs proper storage. Bee wax is added to royal jelly for preservation. Royal jelly can be processed into other product forms like royal jelly powder, royal jelly capsules, royal jelly cream, royal jelly shampoo, etc. Chemical and Nutrient composition of Royal Jelly As found by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Royal Jelly, for bees is nutritional powerhouse. Royal jelly is composed of 60-70% percent water, 12-15% protein, 10-16 % sugars, and 3-6% fats, with vitamins, salts, and free amino acids making up the rest. Sugars fo und in royal jelly are similar to sugars found in Honey. Royal jelly also has various bioactive compounds like unsaturated fatty acids of 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic (10H2DA), 3,10-dihydroxydecanoic, and sebacic acids. 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid is often called queen bee acid. Vitamin and mineral content of Royal Jelly Fresh Royal jelly is rich in vitamin B complex, Vitamin C and other enzymes. Vitamins in per gram of Royal Jelly include – Vitamin B1 (Thiamin)-1.5-7.4 mcg, Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)- 5.3-10mcg, Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) 2.2-10.2 mcg, Niacin (Nicotinic acid) 91.0-149.0 mcg, Pantothenic Acid-65-200 mcg, Biotin 0.9-3.7 mcg, Inositol 78-150 mcg, Folic Acid 0.16-0.5 mcg and trace quantities of Vitamin C. Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E and Vitamin K are absent in royal jelly. The major mineral salts in Royal Jelly are, in descending order: Potassium, Calcium, Sodium, Zinc, Iron, Copper and Manganese.

Post: #707 gpknežević Pakovanje i čuvanje matične mliječi PDF Štampanje E-mail Pakovanje matične mliječi u bočicu od 7 mlMatičnu mliječ pakujemo u bočice od 7 ml, u koju stane 9 grama. Da bi se matična mliječ sačuvala duži period neophodne su posebne mjere opreza. Matična mliječ je osjetljiva na svjetlost, temperaturu i zrak. Ukoliko biste ostavili matičnu mliječ izloženu svjetlu i zraku, na sobnoj temperaturi, za dvadesetak minuta matična mliječ bi potpuno promijenila svoj izgled. Od bijelo-žućkaste, izgledom kao jogurt, pretvorila bi se u potpuno žutu masu, izgledom kao žele. Matična mliječ se smije uzimati samo drvenim, plastičnim ili staklenim kašikama, a nikako metalnim. Radi zaštite matične mliječi od svjetlosti mora se pakovati u tamne bočice. Odmah nakon vađenja iz košnice, bočica sa mliječi se drži u frižideru (čak i u vrijeme transporta). Uticaj zraka je vrlo štetan, zbog čega pakovanje treba biti takvo da u bočici nema prostora za zrak. Iz tog razloga bočicu ne treba otvarati do same upotrebe. Matična mliječ zapakovana na ovaj način može se čuvati godinu dana u frižideru, a prema našem mišljenju je i najbolji način čuvanja matične mliječi u izvornom obliku. Prema nekim autorima preporučuje se čuvanje u medu, međutim matična mliječ je po specifičnoj težini lakša od meda, tako da bi isplivala na površinu i bila izložena uticaju zraka čitavom površinom posude u kojoj se čuva. S druge strane, takav način pakovanja, opravdano, izaziva sumnju kod kupaca. Vrlo često se u prodaji može vidjeti mješavina meda, matične mliječi, propolisa i cvijetnog praha. Interesantno je da je sadržaj ovakvih proizvoda bijele boje, želeći na taj način pokazati sličnost sa matičnom mliječi. Međutim, ukoliko biste u teglu od pola kilograma stavili 2-3 grama matične mliječi sadržaj preostalih 497 grama smjese neće dobiti bijelu boju.
