Abstract
Over the past eight years, bee products such as wax, honey, propolis, and pollen have generated intense curiosity about their potential food uses; to explore these possibilities, this review examines the nutritional benefits and notable characteristics of each product related to the food industry. While all offer distinct advantages, there are challenges to overcome, including the risk of honey contamination. Indeed, honey has excellent potential as a healthier alternative to sugar, while propolis's remarkable antibacterial and antioxidant properties can be enhanced through microencapsulation. Pollen is a versatile food with multiple applications in various products. In addition, the addition of beeswax to oleogels and its use as a coating demonstrate significant improvements in the quality and preservation of environmentally sustainable foods over time. This study demonstrates that bee products and apitherapy are essential for sustainable future food and innovative medical treatments.

Conching process time, sauco by-product concentration, and sacha inchi oil levels identification for the enrichment of dark chocolate. Heliyon 2023; 9:e19886.

Abstract
Chocolate is a widely consumed product with high levels of polyphenols; unfortunately, it is reduced during the process. Adding other components allows for counteracting the polyphenols lost during chocolate processing and reducing the content of unsaturated fatty acids, affecting its physical properties. This study identified the conching time, concentration of sauco by-products, and levels of sacha inchi oil to produce enriched dark chocolates. For this study, sauco by-products in percentages of 2, 6 and 10%, sacha inchi oil in levels of 1, 3, and 5%, and three conching times of 16, 20, and 24 h were added to 75% dark chocolates, and the process conditions were optimized through the response surface methodology (RSM). The physicochemical properties of the dark chocolates were studied, observing that the sauco by-product, sacha inchi oil, and conching time significantly affected (p < 0.05) the variables of antioxidant activity, total phenol content, rheology, hardness, and particle size. The R2 correlation of the factors declared against the variables indicated the model's reliability as it was close to 1. The results suggest that incorporating sauco by-products allows for obtaining chocolates with good chemical properties; however, high percentages of sacha inchi oil and shorter conching time cause a negative effect on the chocolate affecting the physical properties.
