Since ancient times bee pollen has been considered a good source of bioactive substances and energy. Taking into account the current demand for healthy and natural foods, it is not surprising that bee pollen has been attracting commercial interest in recent years, making it one of the most widely consumed food supplements. It has been extensively reported that bee pollen contains several health-promoting compounds, such as proteins, amino acids, lipids, phenolic compounds, vitamins or minerals. Thus, this study aims to give an overview of the extraction and determination techniques of several of the above-mentioned compounds which have been published in the last few years (2011-2017). The design of the study is in accordance with the different families of bioactive compounds, and the extraction procedures together with the analytical techniques employed and their determination are discussed. A list of some of the most relevant applications is provided for each category, including a brief summary of the experimental conditions. The references included will provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of and insight into the analysis of bioactive compounds from bee pollen.
自古以来，蜂花粉一直被认为是生物活性物质和能量的良好来源。考虑到当前对健康和天然食品的需求，近年来蜂花粉吸引了商业兴趣也就不足为奇了，使其成为最广泛消费的食品补充剂之一。据广泛报道，蜂花粉含有几种促进健康的化合物，如蛋白质、氨基酸、脂类、酚类化合物、维生素或矿物质。因此，本研究旨在概述过去几年（2011-2017 年）发表的几种上述化合物的提取和测定技术。该研究的设计符合生物活性化合物的不同家族，讨论了提取程序以及所采用的分析技术及其测定。针对每一类都提供了一些最相关应用的列表，包括实验条件的简要总结。所包含的参考文献将为读者提供对蜂花粉中生物活性化合物分析的全面概述和深入了解。
