TLDR
Propolis and plant secretions from three species, most frequently mentioned as botanical sources of the bee glue in Brazil (Baccharis dracunculifolia, Araucaria angustifolia and Eucalyptus citriodora) have been investigated using GC-MS.Abstract:
Propolis and plant secretions from three species, most frequently mentioned as botanical sources of the bee glue in Brazil (Baccharis dracunculifolia, Araucaria angustifolia and Eucalyptus citriodora) have been investigated using GC-MS. Based on chemical evidence, B. dracunculifolia was shown to be the main propolis source in Sao Paulo state. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of all four materials were also tested, the most active being propolis and Baccharis leaf exudate.read more

The analysis of bud exudate of Populus x euramericana, and of propolis, by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry
TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution gas chromatography was used to identify 104 compounds, including 26 not previously identified in propolis or bud exudate, from three sources; plant exudates collected by bees, wax secreted by bees and materials such as sugars, which are probably introduced accidentally either during propolis manufacture or during subsequent passage of bees over the propolis.
