摘要:
The invention relates to a method of preparing a light-stable hop extract, said method comprising: providing a pre-isomerised hop extract comprising at least 10% of iso-alpha acids by weight of dry matter, and illuminating the pre-isomerised hop extract, optionally after dilution of the pre-isomerised hop extract.
摘要:
The invention relates to a light-stable hop extract comprising at least 1 g per kg of dry matter of one or more hop derived substances represented by formula (I), wherein R═—CH(CH3)2, —CH(CH3)CH2CH3 or —CH2CH(CH3)2. The invention further relates to the use of the light-stable hop extract in beer and to a method of preparing such a hop extract.
摘要:
Iso-α-acids and reduced iso-α-acids in their free acids states are converted into mobile resins by the addition of concentrated solutions of alkali metal hydroxides. The products may be used in brewing for the bittering of beer and are most effectively used in an apparatus that automatically blends the product with water and injects the resultant, aqueous solution into beer.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to solid salts of hop acids and to processes for their production. Preferred are solid sodium and potassium salts of isoalpha acids rho-isoalpha acids, tetrahydroisoalpha acids, hexahydroisoalpha acids and beta acids.
摘要:
The present invention provides a process for transforming an alpha acid into an iso-alpha acid, involving contact of the alpha acid with an aqueous solution of a metal ion, comprising the steps of contacting an aqueous solution of the metal ion with a water-immiscible organic solvent solution of the alpha acid under conditions whereunder the alpha acid is dissolved or remains dissolved in said organic solvent and effecting the desired isomerization in the water-immiscible organic solvent, with or without prior separation of said solvent containing said alpha acid from the aqueous phase.Numerous advantages accrue to the employment of this process over prior-art procedures. Humulones are readily isomerized to isohumulones, and hop extracts are readily isomerized to "preisomerized" hop extracts. The products have utility as flavoring additives.
摘要:
A solid product for use in the flavoring of food or beverages which comprises a water-insoluble calcium, magnesium, nickel, manganese or zinc isohumolone complex and an alkali metal compound selected from sodium or potassium tripolyphosphate or a mixture of the disodium or dipotassium salt of ethylenediamine tetracetic acid with the tetrasodium or tetrapotassium salt of ethylenediaminetetracetic acid, the molar ratio of the alkali metal compound to the isohumulone present in the water-insoluble isohumulone complex being at least 0.8 to 1. The product can be immediately dissolved in water or an aqueous medium to produce a solution containing no significant amount of insoluble residues. The solution can be used, for example, as a bittering additive for beer.

An economically interesting process for preparing 3,5-bis (3,3dimethallyl)-2,4,6-trihydroxy phenones, useful as flavorants and as intermediates for other flavorants, such as isohumolone.
摘要:
HOP EXTRACT IN, E.G., HEXANE, PREISOMERIZED, OPTIONALLY PREREDUCED, IS EXTRACTED WITH AQUEOUS KOH TO GIVE POTASSIUM ISOHUMULATE OF 80& + AND PREFERABLY 90%+ PURITY. ISOHUMULONES IS STRIPPED OF SOLVENT AND IS SUITABLE FOR KETTLE ADDITION. IN ORDER TO PREVENT FOAMING DURING SUBSEQUENT CONCENTRATION, THE AQUEOUS EXTRACT CONTAINING ABOUT 6% SOLIDS IS ACIDIFIED TO A PH LESS THAN THE PKA OF ISOHUMULONE AND IS CONCENTRATED UNDER REDUCED PRESSURE. AFTER CONCENTRATION, THE MATERIAL IS TREATED WITH KOH TO FORM THE WATER SOLUBLE ISHOUMULONE SALT WHICH IS ADDED TO BEER POSTKETTLE. AT A CRITICAL OPTINIUM PH RANGE, DEPENDENT UPON THE RATIO OF WATER TO HEXANE PHASE USED IN THE INITIAL EXTRACTION, FROM 0.1 TO 0.75 OF THE ISOHUMULONES MAY BE EXTRACTED IN THE HIGHLY PURIFIED FORM. A GENERALIZED TECHNIQUE FOR ESTABLISHING CONDITIONS THAT WILL GIVE SUCH A DESIRED FRACTIONS AND RESIDUES IS DISCLOSED.
摘要:
To an aqueous alkali extract containing iso- Alpha -acids, prepared by subjecting hops to extraction of Alpha -acids therefrom and isomerization thereof in an aqueous alkali, an acid is added to adjust the pH value of the extract to a value of from 4.0 to 5.7 thereby to cause precipitation of coexisting impurity materials existing in dissolved state, whereas the iso- Alpha acids remaining in dissolved state, and the resulting precipitate is removed, whereupon an isomerized hop extract of high isoAlpha -acid utilization is produced without any harmful organic solvent.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for producing a beer tittering agent via enzyme catalyzed bioconversion of hop-derived isoalpha acids to dihydro-(rho)-isoalpha acids and to the novel enzyme catalysts which may be employed in such a process.
