Hop (Humulus lupulus)

Full Description:

Produced via Supercritical CO₂ extraction from the female flower spikes (cones) of Humulus lupulus, this extract is a pure, golden semi-fluid resin. By using CO₂ instead of ethanol or hexane, we isolate the essential bittering and aromatic compounds while completely removing the vegetative plant material (polyphenols/nitrates).

The extract delivers a standardised profile of Alpha & Beta Acids without the volume of raw biomass. This results in zero solvent residues, reduced storage requirements, and superior stability against oxidation compared to traditional hop pellets.

Applications:

• Advanced Brewing: A precision tool for brewers, offering increased kettle yields (reduced trub), reduced foaming, and variety-specific character for whirlpool additions.
• Nutraceuticals (Sleep & Calm): Clinically valued for its sedative properties, helping to alleviate stress, improve sleep quality, and relax muscles.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Emerging as a high-performance active for hair strengthening and skin toning.
