Exploring the physical, functional, thermal, and textural properties of bee pollen from different botanical origins of India

Bee pollen from different botanical sources (viz., coconut, coriander, rapeseed, and multi‐floral) of India were first time evaluated to determine the physical, functional, thermal, and textural properties. Coriander pollen showed the highest equivalent diameter (2.72 mm), surface area (23.28 mm 2 ), 1,000‐pollen pellet weight (8.14 g), and porosity (66.67%) among all samples. The analysis of functional properties revealed the maximum water‐ and...
