The present invention relates to a natural fermented composition of pollen using glacial snow water obtained by mixing pollen, such as bee pollen, pollen, and edible flowers, with glacial snow water and fermenting same, and a preparation method therefor. In the present invention, provided is a composition obtained by mixing glacial snow water having a pH of 7.5 to 8.8 and a density of 0.05-0.85 g/cm.sup.3 with one or more kinds of pollens selected from bee pollen, pollen, flower buds, floral leaves, and floral nectaries and fermenting the mixture for three months or longer without inoculation of microorganisms. The natural fermented composition of the pollens of the present invention contains a wide variety of nutritional and active ingredients, and can exhibit various effects. Especially, since the composition has excellent antioxidative effects, the composition may be used for foods and beverages, antioxidant drinks, etc.

Antibodies specific for royalactin (RA) can be used in methods for purifying royalactin, including native royalactin. These methods produce can produce compositions enriched for native royalactin. The purified royalactin can be used to produce cosmetic products that include native royalactin. An isolated nucleic acid encodes a monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to royalactin.

A process for producing an infused honey composition having a moisture content of 15% to 19% w/w is described. The process generally includes adding an infusing agent to honey to form an infused honey composition. The honey may be dried prior to addition of the infusing agent, after addition of the infusing agent, or both before and after addition of the infusing agent. The infusing agents are generally not-from-concentrate components of a plant including an extract or juice, fruit, seeds, skin, stems, roots, or leaves.

The use of propolis or an extract of propolis as a food supplement for preventing and/or combating pathological conditions associated with diet-induced obesity, and in particular type II diabetes, and a specific a composition suitable for this use.

The use of propolis or an extract of propolis as a food supplement for preventing and/or combating pathological conditions associated with diet-induced obesity, and in particular type II diabetes, and a specific a composition suitable for this use.

The invention relates to the use of a composition comprising at least one extract of propolis, having at least one of the following properties: an antioxidant value (ORAC) greater than or equal to 500 mmol TE/100 g of dry extract, a flavones and flavonols content greater than or equal to 5.5% by weight with respect to the total weight of dry material of the extract, a flavanones and dihydroflavanols content greater than or equal to 5% by weight with respect to the total weight of dry material of the product, in order to prevent and/or limit the side effects of chemotherapy.

The disclosure relates to methods, systems and compositions for producing emulated honey. More specifically, the disclosure relates to systems, compositions and methods for semi-continuously producing emulated honey using pressure-driven fluidic platforms comprising a plurality of microfluidic and/or milifluidic devices containing fluidic unit operations operable to convert plant nectar to emulated honey.
