Our partner, ITACyL (Agricultural Technological Institute of Castilla y León), published a research article titled “Fractionation of High-Value Compounds from Hops Using an Optimised Sequential Extraction Procedure” in the journal Antioxidants (MDPI, Q1, IF: 7).
The study outlines the development and optimization of a process for extracting valuable compounds from hops, achieving high recovery rates of key components such as α-acids, β-acids, xanthohumol, and phenolics.
The optimized sequential extraction, validated across six hop varieties, showcases its potential for industrial production. The study’s significance lies in its contribution to the extraction methodology for these high-value compounds, providing a foundation for broader industrial applications. The article is open access, inviting all interested parties to delve into its findings and implications.
