The subject of the invention is a process for the preparation of propolis in powder form, soluble in water, where the propolis extract in ethanol is not purified, ie the waxes are not removed by filtration or centrifugation, but the propolis extract is added directly to the aqueous solution of the encapsulation carrier and encapsulated by the method of lyophilization or spray drying. The process according to the invention thus produces small particles having good water solubility, the ability to encapsulate high concentrations of biological compounds, good antioxidant values, mild taste, pleasant aroma, good stability in aqueous solutions with a pH between 3 and 6, good stability in closed packaging and low water activity.Predmet izuma je postopek za pripravo propolisa v praškasti obliki, ki je topen v vodi, pri čemer se propolisovega ekstrakta v etanolu ne prečiščuje, torej se voskov ne odstranjuje s filtracijo ali centrifugiranjem, ampak se propolisov ekstrakt direktno dodaja v vodno raztopino kapsulacijskega nosilca in kapsulira z metodo liofilizacije ali sušenja z razprševanjem. S postopkom po izumu se tako pridobi majhne delce, ki imajo dobro topnost v vodi, sposobnost kapsulacije visokih koncentracij bioloških spojin, dobre antioksidativne vrednosti, blag okus, prijetno aromo, dobro stabilnost v vodnih raztopinah s pH med 3 in 6, dobro stabilnost v zaprti embalaži in nizko vodno aktivnost.
