Storage On Bio-Chemical Composition Of Bee Bread eBook

Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Biology - Zoology, grade: 7.8, , course: MSc Zoology, language: English, abstract: Honey bees are one of the most beneficial creatures in the animal kingdom. They derive pollen and nectar from a large number of plant species for their food. The present study was carried out by using bee bread sample collected from Arni University, Indora (Kangra), during 2017-2018. In this study, two types of bee bread samples i.e. stored bee bread and fresh bee bread was used. For the biochemical analysis parameters like pH, electrical conductivity (EC), Moisture content, Ash content, Protein content, Carbohydrate content were measured. It was concluded that the end of the study that electrical conductivity and moisture content increase in stored bee bread as compare to Fresh bee bread. But in the case of Ash content, protein And Carbohydrate content reported being higher in fresh bee bread as compared to stored bee bread. The reason behind this might be the effect of time on the storage of bee bread as well as poor storage condition which lead to the degradation of biochemical component of bee bread.
