Abstract
A procedure is described for the analysis of fatty acids (C12-C18 individually and C18+ as a group) in hops, hop extracts and isomerized hop extracts, and analytical results are quoted for twenty-one different samples of hops or hop products. Isomerized extracts varied widely in their content of fatty acids and isomerization and processing of hops appeared to eliminate some fatty acids selectively so that isomerized extracts were enriched in palmitic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid. Some hop extracts had a surprisingly high content of lauric acid. The analytical results are discussed in relation to gushing.Keywords
