Hop resins. Part I. Analytic determination of some components important in brewing technology.Peer-reviewed article

J. KUBÍČEK, M. VANČURA

The authors outline briefly a number of problems connected with the analytic determination of some components of hop resins and of their transformation products, especially of humulones and isohumulones. All these components play an important role in brewing processes. A special attention is paid to the determination of conductometric properties of hops and hop products, as well as to spektrofotometric determination of isocomponents of wort and beer. Opinion of several other authors on the effects of some hop components upon the taste of beer, on analytic methods and conditions under they should be used, is confronted with the experience of authors. Shares of isohumulone and non-isohumulone components of hop bitter substances are specified.
