Abstract:
The technology of obtaining propolis water-soluble fraction which does not require use of highly flammable liquids has been developed for the first time ever. The developed technology will help to avoid accidents during industrial production and compounding of certain types of medicines, in particular of intravenous solutions, eye drops and other types which have to meet the requirements of sterility and standards foreseen by the regulatory documents. Physical and chemical properties (pH, surface tension, refraction index, viscosity, absorbance, etc.) were identified to choose the optimum amount of biologically active compounds in “Propolis” eye drops having water-soluble fraction as their base.
