Abstract
4-(3′-Hydroxymethyl-3′-methylallyloxy)cinnamic acid 1 and 4-(3′-hydroxymethyl-3′-methylallyloxy)-3-methoxycinnamic acid 2 have been identified as novel phytochemicals in honey and propolis of Italian origin by HPLC analysis. Compound 2 was seen to be most abundant in honey samples with a concentration of 3.52 ug/g.
