Contributions of hop-derived thiols were examined. Extremely strong fruity, black currant-like aromas were detected in beers hopped with some U.S. cultivars. 4-Mercapto-4-methylpentan-2-one (4MMP) was supposed to be the main contributor to the fruity aroma, and the contents between cultivars were investigated. In hop pellets, a negative correlation between 4MMP concentration and copper ion content in hops was observed. 4MMP was detected only in U.S., Australian, and New Zealand cultivars, but no European ones, which are treated with copper-containing fungicides (Bordeaux mixture) and therefore have a high content of copper ions. The 4MMP content was highest in Simcoe cultivars, followed by Summit, Apollo, Topaz, Cascade pellets, and also differed between crop years. It was indicated that most 4MMP exists freely in wort or in hop pellets with only small amounts formed from precursors and that the amounts increased during the fermentation process.

, or hops, is a vital ingredient in brewing, contributing bitterness, flavor, and aroma. The female plants produce strobiles rich in essential oils and acids, along with bioactive compounds like polyphenols, humulene, and myrcene, which offer health benefits. This study examined the aromatic profiles of five hop varieties grown in Brazil versus their countries of origin.

This study describes the development and optimisation of a process for the extraction and fractionation of high-value compounds from hops. Firstly, the efficacy of ten organic solvents was compared for performing the initial solid-liquid extraction of compounds from hop pellets with subsequent fractionation steps. A methanol-dichloromethane mixture was selected and the extraction variables were optimised in order to maximise the recovery of valuable hop compounds separated into different streams (α- and β-acids in soft resins, xanthohumol in hard resins, and phenolics in spent solids) after fractionation steps.

Hops are among the most costly and environmentally impactful raw materials used in brewing, yet they play a crucial role in the aroma of beer. However, predicting beer aroma based on hop variety or hopping method remains arduous. This is partly because hop oils are unique for each hop variety, and they may be biotransformed by yeast enzymes during fermentation.
