humulus lupulus extract modified

Humulus lupulus extract modified, commonly known as hop extract modified, is a natural flavoring compound derived from the hop plant, Humulus lupulus L. It is recognized for its characteristic herbal flavor note which contributes to the sensory profile of food and beverage products, particularly in beer and related formulations. Also referred to as Hop, ext., this extract has a complex chemical composition typical of hops, including various bitter acids and aromatic compounds. For detailed chemical information, the compound is indexed under PubChem (SID 135293371). The extract is typically obtained by processing hop cones to concentrate certain flavor-active components. Its usage spans multiple applications where a hop-derived herbal flavor is desired.

Humulus lupulus extract modified occurs naturally in the hop plant, widely cultivated for brewing and flavoring purposes. The extract serves as a flavoring agent and adjuvant, enhancing herbal and bitter notes in products such as beer, beverages, and other food items. Its application leverages the distinctive sensory qualities originating from hops, contributing complexity and aroma to formulations. Regulatory guidelines like those from FEMA (US) provide use-level recommendations ensuring the compound's safe incorporation in flavorings. Given its origin and flavor profile, it offers a natural alternative to synthetic bittering agents and is valued in formulations emphasizing natural ingredients.

Humulus lupulus extract modified is a concentrated preparation characterized by its herbal flavor profile derived from hop bitter acids and essential oils. The extract’s physical state may vary depending on processing but generally presents as a viscous liquid or semi-solid resin with a complex mixture of chemical constituents. Its sensory properties are influenced by the balance between bitter components and aromatic volatiles, which are stable under typical food formulation conditions. The molecular complexity contributes to solubility characteristics compatible with various matrices, facilitating its use as a flavoring adjuvant. The material does not present classified hazards under OSHA HCS (29 CFR 1910).
