TUDIES ON THE FATTY ACID COMPOSITION OF HOP EXTRACT

Abstract

Studies on fatty acids composition of hop extract obtained from Vurtenberg hop by extraction with a threecomponent mixture was carried out. It has been established that the content of fatty acids in hop extract is 0.3% ±5%. Fatty acids composition was determined by Gas‐chromatographic analysis. The presence of the following unsaturated fatty acids has been proven: C16:1; C18:1; C18:2; C18:3; C20:1 which represent about 40% of the general content of fatty acids in the extract. 1995 The Institute of Brewing & Distilling
