Hop, Humulus lupulus, ext. Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Perennial climbing vine that grows wild and also is cultivated extensively in several central European countries, North America, Brazil, and Australia. It has shoots up to 10 m (33 ft.) in length, opposite leaves, greenish-yellow flowers (June to September), and ovoidal fruits surrounded by a calix. The part used is the female flower catkins from the climbing vine and the (lupulin) glandular trichomes dried at 38°C maximum. Hops has a bitter, tonic, aromatic flavor. The essential oil is present in hops in amounts of approximately 0.5%; yields after distillation range around 0.25%. The oil exhibits different physical-chemical constants depending on the source.
The oil contains P-myrcene, dipentene, α- and p-caryophyllene, humulone, linalool, methyl nonyl ketone, and other substances. Beef flavor is associated with hops; the bitter flavor is given by the resin, the flavor complex of the essential oil. The derivatives are infusion (1.5%), fluid extract, tincture (20% in 40% ethanol), concrete, and absolute. The main constituents of lupulin are a bitter resin containing humulone, lupulone, lactaric acid, cerotic acid, and ceryl alcohol.
