The aim of this study was to indicate the potential application of bee pollen as a dietary supplement.
Biscuits are one of the most consumed confectionery products in the world. With this fact in mind, an
attempt was made to nd an optimal recipe for biscuits with the addition of pollen, and at the same time
investigate the physical, chemical and health-promoting properties in obtained products. Although it
was found that the addition of bee pollen did not affect the fat content in biscuits, it had a statistically
signicant effect on sugar, protein, ash, bre, as well as the content of polyphenols and antioxidant
potential. Biscuits that had been improved with bee pollen were characterized by higher penetration
work and a darker surface when compared to the control. However, only up to 5% of pollen was needed
to enable the taste of biscuits to be at the same level as the control.

1. Introduction
Pollen is produced by plants as male cells that are needed for
pollination and to develop fruit. Each plant species has its own
characteristics in respect of the shape, size and colour of pollen.
Bees pick up pollen from owers with the help of a comb on their
bodies that allow it to drag the pollen and form pellets (AlmeidaMuradian, Pamplona, Coimbra, & Barth, 2005; Snodgrass, 1975).
They then bring these pellets to the hive and store them in special
cells, the main use of the pollen being to feed the larvae (Barth &
Luz, 1998; Roman, 2006). In order to obtain pollen, apiarists
install traps in front of the entrance to the hive, so that when
returning home the worker-bees lose their pollen pellets. These are
then collected into a container (Campos et al., 2008; Nelson, 1987).
Natural products used as food supplements are recently gaining
more and more attention, with pollen particularly arousing significant interest. In fact, pollen has been used for centuries in traditional medicine (Kroyer & Hegedus, 2001) and as a food in the
human diet due to its nutritional and therapeutic properties
(Cocan, Marghitas, Dezmirean, & Laslo, 2005; Linskens & Jorde,
1997). Bee pollen is a rich source of nutrients that includes

Ingredients of the recipe, the number of which changes are marked in bold font.
Penetration proles of biscuits were determined using the TAXT plus texture analyzer (Stable Micro Systems, Haslemere, UK).
Biscuits were placed on a heavy duty platform table with an insert
and 9 mm xing hole, and the penetration test was performed
using a P/6 cylinder probe 6 mm, moving at 1 mm per second at a
distance of 20 mm, so that a hole was made through the biscuit.
Hardness, as the value of maximum force on the acquired plot,
along with penetration work - as the area below the curve - were
calculated. The analyses were carried out on fresh biscuits, i.e. on
those prepared on the day of baking, as well as after one and two
months of storage. The experiment was repeated ten times.

bee pollen derived from two localities: Nove
In the study it was observed that cookies with rape bee pollen were
characterized by stronger scavenging of DPPH, in a range between
32.66 and 66.91%, in comparison to the control (6.2%). Based on the
et al. (2014), and the data presented here, it
results of Solgajova
could be observed that larger amounts of pollen have resulted in
higher antioxidant activity of the nal product.
Summarizing the results shown above, it should be suggested
that a 10% addition of pollen is the most effective in terms of the
enrichment of biscuits in phenolic compounds, and thus improvement of their antioxidant activity. It could be observed that even a
2.5% addition of pollen caused an increase in the polyphenol content by approximately 50%, and a rise in antioxidant activity by
86.4% (Table 4). At a 10% addition of pollen the content of polyphenols, as well as antioxidant activity, were 3 times higher in
comparison to the control sample, so in order to provide maximum
nutritional benets, this level of supplementation seems to be
optimal.
Readily available published data on bio-active compounds in
pollen show only the aspect of differences in their levels between
various locations, but there is little or no information as regards
reports about bakery or pastry products which could be prepared
et al. (2014)
with the addition of this ingredient. Recently, Solgajova
analysed selected chemical compounds and antioxidant activity
(but not the contents of antioxidants) of cookies with rape bee
pollen. It seems, however, that the results presented here are more
complete and give a better view of the chemical and physical
changes in pastry products caused by pollen fortication. This
seems necessary to interest the producers in extending their
product portfolio with biscuits that have been fortied with pollen,
which have high potential as a source of polyphenols, and antioxidant activity in the human diet.

3.3.1. Colour
Colour is important in the selection and the purchasing of food
products (Calvo, Salvador, & Fiszman, 2001), including biscuits.
Moreover, as colour develops during the later stage of baking, it can
be used to judge the completion of the baking process (Mamat, Abu
Hardan, & Hill, 2010; Wade, 1988). Changes in food colour during
storage also provide information about its freshness, and in turn its
shelf life.
Analysing the colour of biscuits (Table 5), it was observed that
the addition of bee pollen signicantly darkened the surface of
biscuits when compared to the control. The values of the L*

4. Conclusions
The possibility of fortifying biscuits with bee pollen appears to
be justied. This is not only due to the enrichment of confectionery
products in the antioxidant compounds having health promoting
properties, but also due to the possibility of having introduced bee
pollen itself - which is rich in these bioactive substances - into the
human diet. Based on the data obtained, it was concluded that the
addition of bee pollen did not affect the fat content in biscuits.
However, it did have a statistically signicant effect on the increase
in content of sugar, protein, ash, bre and polyphenols, as well as
the antioxidant potential of the nal product. Biscuits improved
with bee pollen were characterized by higher penetration work and
having a darker surface when compared to the control. Applying
bee pollen to fortify the biscuits was possible, and even at the stage
when the highest amount was applied, this addition enabled the
desired results. However, only 5% of pollen was needed to enable
the taste of biscuits to be at the same level as the control.
