Propolis is an important substance that honeybees collect from the resins of plants and form them with their own enzymes. Propolis has many biological activities thanks to more than 300 active compounds it contains. These active compounds in the content of propolis vary depending on the plants that are the source of propolis, the region where the bees are and the season. The aim of this study is to determine the phenolic compound content and levels of organic propolis obtained from Anatolian soils. For this purpose, 25 phenolic compounds were examined in the propolis samples with LC-MS / MS device. Among these compounds, Acetohydroxamic acid, 2-Hydroxy-1, 4-naphthoquinone, Thymoquinone, Alizarin could not be detected in the propolis sample. The highest phenolic compounds detected were Hydoxycinamic acid (16.85 ppm) and Quercetin (14.49 ppm). Other compounds that came out high following these compounds were Kaempferol (8.48 pmm) and Vanillic acid (4.5 ppm) compounds. The lowest phenolic compounds detected were Protocatechuic acid (0.05 ppm) and Curcumin (0.05 ppm) compounds. As a result of this study, the phenolic compound levels contained in some propolis samples of Anatolia were determined. In addition, our study results will provide information about the flora of the area where the propolis was taken.
