Abstract: There has been a growing trend in consumer’s preferences for food supplements containing propolis due to having a wide range of phenolic compounds to promote health. Honeybees’ used main plant source will determine propolis chemical composition thus its biological activity. Thus, determination of the propolis botanical source is highly important for its standardization and prediction of its pharmacological activity. There are two commonly applied methods to seek propolis botanical sources: chromatographic techniques and palynological analysis. In this study, high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS) applied comparatively with pollen analysis to propolis samples. The results of the chromatographic analyses were evaluated with principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA). Consequently, chromatographic techniques applied in this study were found to be superior to pollen analysis to identify the main plant source of propolis. Besides, HPTLC images revealed not only main botanical sources but also minor sources of propolis. Therefore, HPTLC fingerprinting combined with PCA and HCA resulted in grouping propolis samples according to geographical regions. This study may lead to pharmaceutical industries for the quality assurance of propolis while preparing standardized propolis formulations in the market with desired pharmacological properties. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
