SUMMARY:

Bees are one of the main pollinators on the planet, being responsible for about 70% of the pollination of agricultural crops, in addition to being an essential part of the pollination of biomes, ensuring the preservation and continuity of plant species. With regard to stingless bees, these are stunted insects, manipulated for many centuries by indigenous populations and which are present mainly in the southern portion of the globe. Its rational creation is known as meliponiculture, which generates a portfolio of products, and among these products, propolis, which in recent decades has gained the interest of researchers mainly for its composition rich in phenolic compounds, but also other compounds such as coumarins, which has functional activities, in addition to so many other nutrients present. Propolis is an elaborated made up of plant parts, plant resin, wax, pollen and essential oils, however, these constituents vary according to the bee species, location, harvest season and management. Thus, propolis appears on the market as a natural product with technological capacity for use in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and food. Its antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antitumor powers are widely investigated and reported in the literature, however, research with stingless bee propolis is still very incipient. New molecules are often found in the composition of stingless bee propolis and its use has expanded to be applied against different microorganisms, given the problem of resistance to traditional antimicrobials. Therefore, the objective of this work is the determination of phenolic compounds and coumarins in the chemical profile of propolis from stingless bees and their use against microorganisms of food interest, Candida albicans. Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli.
