The raw material used by Uniflora comes from all over the country . We have suppliers (beekeepers) from Rio Grande do Sul (South area) to Piauí (North area). We work with domestic honey, seeking for quality and characteristic taste, in spite of the high price. Brazilian production is estimated at forty thousand tons annually. The products, when they are received, pass rigorous quality control which analyses the humidity level (to avoid fermentation), acid and enzyme level (to verify the storage condition of the product), the colour (to classify into company standards for each product), pH and chemical reaction that detects any addition of commercial sugar or superheating of the product. Propolis is received from some states, mainly São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Paraná. Currently Brazil produces around 100 tons per year of raw propolis. Depending on the region in which the propolis was produced, it has different characteristics of colour, taste and active compounding (antibiotics and antiinflammatories).

Laboratory 1

Laboratory 2

         There are propolis with low antibiotic and antiiflammatories properties. Once received, it passes through analysis of bee wax, mechanic mass, soluble solids (dry weight), oxidation level and bioflavonoids level (analysed through a Computerized Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, which indicates the therapeutic properties). Similar controls are made in the royal jelly, bee pollen and medicinal plants also received.
