20090053384 | Method for Preparation of Plant Extract - It is intended to develop a technique for producing a water-soluble polyphenol at high purity and with high efficiency in a short time from hop bract or the like which is a by-product in the beer brewing. A method for preparation of a purified plant extract comprising steps of treating a plant extract with a clay mineral such as bentonite and removing any divalent cations from the resulting product; a method for producing a polyphenol comprising steps of passing the purified plant extract through a column to adsorb polyphenols onto the column and passing a solvent though the column to elute a water-soluble polyphenol from the column; and a method for producing a water-soluble hop bract polyphenol comprising steps of adding bentonite to a hop bract extract and allowing the resulting mixture to stand under acidic conditions, performing solid-liquid separation to produce a supernatant, purifying the supernatant through a column to give a pholyphenol-containing fraction, cooling the fraction and allowing the cooled fraction to stand to cause the precipitation of water-insoluble ingredients and performing solid-liquid separation to give the desired water-soluble hop bract polyphenol. | 02-26-2009 |
20090092735 | METHOD FOR PREPARING STABLE HOP POWDER - This invention features a method of making hop powder containing stable alkaline salts of hop bitter acids and an edible carrier. Also within the scope of this invention is a hop product containing alkaline salts of hop bitter acids and an edible carrier. | 04-09-2009 |
20100075015 | Method for Preparing Alpha Acid-Enriched Hop Compositions - This invention relates to a method of preparing an alpha acid-enriched hop composition that contains a low level of beta acids. | 03-25-2010 |
20110244110 | HOP ALPHA ACID OR HOP OIL CONTENT ENHANCER - A hop alpha acid or hop oil content enhancer, which contains 5-aminolevulinic acid, or a derivative thereof represented by the following formula (1), or a salt thereof as an active ingredient: | 10-06-2011 |
20130209653 | METHOD FOR ISOMERISATION OF HOP ALPHA-ACIDS TO ISO-ALPHA-ACIDS - The invention relates to a process for the production of iso-alpha-acids starting from alpha-acids in which an alpha-acid containing hop extract is mixed with a carbon-containing chemical compound with one or more functional groups containing a (basic) nitrogen atom with a lone pair (or mixtures thereof), either in solvent-free conditions or in the presence of solvents and preferably under an oxygen-free atmosphere. The resulting mixture is subjected to a temperature of at least 278 K for a time sufficient to effect the intended conversion of the alpha-acid reactant into the iso-alpha-acid product. The present invention further relates to iso-alpha-acid compositions obtained by said improved isomerisation process and to the use of said iso-alpha-acid compositions as bittering formulation and/or as source to obtain reduced or hydrogenated iso-alpha-acid compositions. | 08-15-2013 |
20140072691 | Method and Device for Adding Hops in Beer Manufacture, and Also Hop Product - The invention relates to a method for adding hops in beer manufacture, having the following process steps; a) separation of a sub-quantity ( | 03-13-2014 |
20140255586 | HOP RESIN-BASED SUBSTANCE - A hop resin-based substance has the soft resin at least substantially removed such that the hard resin is present in an enriched state, the hard resin is enriched in terms of the water-insoluble constituents and xanthohumol has been, at least substantially, removed. The substance allows both very balanced bitterness to be adjusted and it does not constitute any optical impairment of beer due to insoluble matter caused by xanthohumol. | 09-11-2014 |
20140255587 | NOVEL HOP POWDERS - The present invention is an extracted hop powder which has one or more hop acids blended back. This hop acid powder is flowable, does not cake-up and is more stable than hop powder that has not been extracted. | 09-11-2014 |
20150289549 | Food Seasoning Product Involving Hops - A food seasoning comprising a mixture hops that have been re-hydrated in an aqueous solution of beer, salt, and zest from a grapefruit measured in specific quantities. | 10-15-2015 |
20160145550 | Device And Method For Extracting Aroma Substances From Vegetable Aroma Carriers Into A Brewing Liquid - A device for extracting aroma substances from vegetable aroma carriers into a brewing liquid, in particular into beer, includes a fluidized bed extractor accommodating a suspension bed including the brewing liquid and solid particles contained in aroma carriers. The fluidized bed extractor has at least an inlet and an outlet for the brewing liquid. A feed pump pumps the brewing liquid from the inlet through the fluidized bed extractor to the outlet. A feeding speed of the feed pump is set to a value at which an average vertical feeding speed of the brewing liquid in the fluidized bed extractor is lower than an average vertical sedimentation speed of the solid particles in the fluidized bed extractor. | 05-26-2016 |
