Abstract
Pinocembrin was identified as the major compound responsible for the g rowth inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus displayed by samples of prop olis. The pinocembrin content of samples of propolis was determined by two chromatographic techniques, densitometry and high performance liq uid chromatography. In both techniquess the pinocembrin content was as sessed using internal standards. The pinocembrin content of samples of propolis from different temperate geographical areas was found to be in the range 4.0 to 4.6% w/w.
