ABEO-ISO-α-ACIDS

Abstract
During boiling, substantial amounts of hop α-acids are transformed into oxidation products containing the same cyclopentane nucleus as the iso-α-acids: these oxidation products, which have been called abeo-iso-α-acids I, II and III, are separable by countercurrent distribution. Lager beers contained between 88 and 160 mg. of abeo-iso-α-acids per litre. Although the abeo-iso-α-acids are almost devoid of bitterness, they have strong foam-producing properties.
