The volatile composition of novel varietal oxygenated sesquiterpenoid hop oil fractions ("spicy essences") was characterized by headspace solid-phase microextraction in combination with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Oxygenated sesquiterpenes represent the major chemical compound class, accounting for at least 65% of the total volatile fraction. In addition to oxygenated sesquiterpenes, spicy hop essences consist of several ketones, sesquiterpene and monoterpene hydrocarbons, and a relatively high number of unidentified compounds. On the basis of their relative composition, spicy hop essences can be fully differentiated according to their varietal origin. Multidimensional gas chromatography in combination with time-of-flight mass spectrometry on spicy hop essence cv. Spalter Select further demonstrated the enormous complexity of this particular hop oil fraction. The aromagram obtained via gas chromatography-olfactometry comprised nine odor-active regions described in terms of "citrus", "green", "haylike", "earthy", "woody", and "spicy". 2-Undecanone, 2-tridecanone, γ-cadinene, α-calacorene, calarene, humuladienone, caryolan-1-ol, caryophyllene oxide enantiomers, and humulene epoxide II are tentatively identified in the odor-active zones.

The growing demand for alternative plant protection products (PPP) that are more environmentally friendly leads to the investigation of novel approaches in agriculture. The use of plant extracts as PPP belongs to one of the most intensively investigated areas. This study aimed to evaluate if the partial substitution of conventional pesticides with selected botanicals (seaweed extract, orange essential oil, thyme essential oil, and a hop extract) will have the same protective effect against ans as conventional potato treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Hyperlipidemia is a major global health issue that requires new treatment strategies, and moderate beer consumption may provide benefits due to its flavonoid, isoxanthohumol (IXN).
- Research using a mouse model of acute hyperlipidemia showed that IXN improved blood lipid levels and reduced liver fat, as indicated by biochemical and histological analyses.
- IXN works by activating key signaling pathways related to lipid metabolism, specifically the AMPK/PPARα and PI3K/AKT pathways, which help reduce lipid accumulation and oxidative stress.
Analysis of chemical and genetic variability in wild hop (Humulus lupulus L.) populations of Kosovo.

Hops is an economically important species due to its diverse secondary metabolites and extensive use in the brewing and medicinal industries. Although hops is widely distributed in Kosovo, the chemical composition of its essential oils and genetic variability of wild populations remain understudied. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the chemical and genetic variability of Kosovo's wild hop population using essential oil constituents and microsatellite (simple sequence repeat - SSR) markers.

Background: Xanthohumol is an isopentadienyl flavonoid in hops, which have several pharmacological effects. However, due to the poor bioavailability of xanthohumol, it cannot be widely used.
Result: In this study, solvent extraction combined with preparative liquid chromatography was used to separate and purify xanthohumol in hop residue.

Modern production of vegetable oils has reached impressive levels, and the ever-growing quantities of waste cooking oil (WCO) provide a local source of raw materials for innovative materials. The WCO composite production process involves a series of reactions, including polymerisation, esterification, and transesterification, which lead to the hardening of composite materials. In light of the growing problem of bacterial and fungal diseases, materials with high strength properties and biocidal properties are being sought.
