CO2 hop extract contains all the brewing-relevant substances in hops, which are responsible for the aroma and the bitterness are responsible. The stability is excellent. The CO2 hop extract is a comfortable and concentrated one Alternative to raw hops or hop pellets, as the brewing properties of the cone hops are retained. An early serving in the wort kettle brings mainly bitterness, while a late serving (at the end of the Boiling) will produce a hop-aromatic beer
Applications & Uses

- Food & Nutrition Applications
- Product Application
For effective bitterness, the extract should be used at the beginning of the boiling or up to 10 minutes after the beginning of the boiling be admitted. The yield of the α-acids in the beer is somewhat higher compared to non-isomerized ones Hop pellets and is between 32 and 38%. If the wort is added late during the wort boiling process, the The yield will be correspondingly lower. The required amount of CO2 hop extract results from the α-acid content and the empirical values of yields. The yields depend on the wort boiling system and other process parameters in the brewery. If the addition is made by means of an automated dosing system, the extract should be heated to around 40 ° C in advance and gently stirred to ensure a clean dosage guarantee.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Analytical Methods
Three different types of methods can be used to determine the α-acid content: HPLC or conductometric or spectrophotometric methods. A specific measurement of the hop acids can
by means of:- HPLC with ICE standard according to EBC method 7.7 or ASBC method Hops-14
- Conductometric methods EBC 7.6 or ASBC Hops-8
- ASBC Hops-8 spectrophotometric metho
- The hop oil concentration can be determined by means of
- EBC method 7.10 or ASBC method Hops-13 can be determined.
Safety & Health
- Safety Note
CO2 hop extract is a natural, non-toxic product and can be used safely as long as it is routine protective measures such as avoiding contact with skin and especially eyes are observed
become. For more information, please refer to the relevant safety data sheet (SDS).
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging
The α-acid content can be standardized by setting the weight per packaging unit. Another possibility for standardization is the addition of glucose syrup or other material in
Food grade. Can sizes are between 0.5 and 4 kg. Large single-use containers come in sizes between 50 and 200 kg available. The container material complies with the requirements of the Food Contact Ordinance. Viscosity analyzes can be requested for automated dosing. The entire inner surface the container is lined with a food-grade coating.
Storage & Handling
- Storage And Shelf Life
CO2 hop extract is extremely stable when stored appropriately. Hop oils stay in theirs original condition preserved. The extract should be stored in a cool place between 0 and 5 ° C and within 8 Years after processing. If CO2 extract is stored at room temperature (below 25 ° C), the extract should be used within 3 years, opened containers always within a few days.
