To determine the characteristics of propolis fermented with microorganisms, the optimal conditions for propolis extraction with ethanol were first reviewed, and the physicochemical properties of the extracted propolis were then investigated. The shaking and stationary extraction methods were tested. The flavonoid content was 6.40 mg/g when the stationary extraction method was used and 6.95 mg/g when the shaking extraction method was used. The ethanol concentration was then varied, and the use of 50, 60, 70, and 80% ethanol resulted in the total flavonoid content in the propolis samples reaching 6.75, 8.45, 7.45, and 7.75 mg/g, respectively. This indicated that a 60% (v/v) concentration was optimal. As the extraction time was increased from 1 to 3 hr, the flavonoid content slightly increased; however, extending the extraction step to more than 3 hr did not significantly affect the flavonoid content. In terms of the extraction temperature, the highest concentration of flavonoids (8.63 mg/g) was detected at 50℃. In the propolis samples, 5.80, 2.61, and 1.32 mg/g of fructose, sucrose, and rhamnose were detected, respectively. As for the amino acid content, 17 amino acids, including glutamic acid, were detected, and the total amino acid content was 2.49 mg/g.
