Edible ingredients have been used to obtain nano- and microfiber webs. The main constituents of the fibers are polyvinyl alcohol with propolis. Propolis collected by bees has antiviral and antibacterial properties and is widely used in food, medicine and beauty care. During the preparation of spinning solution, the propolis water and extracts were dissolved then the resulting solution was combined with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution creating various types of spinning solutions with different propolis concentrations.
