Abstract: The process parameters of enzymatic hydrolysis of flavonoid glycosides in propolis with β-glucosidase were discussed.The contents of many flavonoid aglycones in hydrolyzates of propolis were increased,such as myricetin,quercetin,apigenin and pinocembrine.The hydrolyzates of propolis have stronger antioxidant activity than the original propolis.

Key words: propolis; flavonoid glycosides; &beta, -glucosidase;
