Özet
Objective: Apilarnil is a natural bee product produced from the drone larvae. It has highly beneficial properties for both humans and animals. The chemical composition of the drone larvae consists of mineral salts, vitamins, carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids. It has an influence on the function bio-stimulating hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis has a direct impact on the essential measures of the genitalia function. The obtaining study was performed to reveal the detail physico-chemical characterization of apilarnil. Material and Methods: In this study, a freshly harvested apilarnil sample from Turkey was investigated in terms of the percentage of some physicochemical parameters (moisture, ash, total lipid, total protein, and cholesterol), the level of some hormones (estradiol, prolactin, progesterone, and testosterone), and the characterization of some fatty acids.Results: According to the existing results; testosterone and progesterone were noted highly level as 14.80±0.05 ng/g and 14.40±0.05 ng/g, respectively, moreover, conjugated linoleic acid (52.62%) was defined as a marker of fatty acid by gas chromatography. Conclusion: The evaluating results showed that apilarnil could be seen as a remarkable natural source thanks to its high-level bio-properties.
