resumo
Pollen is a product with an increasing market potential, particularly in the nutraceutical and food supplements segment. Besides of its image linked to natural products, it is a source of proteins, rich in minerals, antioxidant compounds and essential amino acids. This compositional richness is also the reason why honeybees rely in its collection to feed the colony. In this communication, the nutritional value and palynological profile of 31 pollen samples, collected from four regions of Portugal, during spring and summer of 2018, are presented.
