- Product Highlights
• BetaBio 10% is produced from CO2 extract of hops. It contains predominantly the natural beta acids fraction of hops extract formulated in alkaline water.
• Beta acids are well-known to have potent anti-microbial properties and are particularly active against Gram positive bacteria and certain algae.
• BetaBio 10% is typically added to molasses based feed stocks for the production of yeast or alcohol at a 50 to 100 ppm dose rate.
Structure of Beta acids
- Product Information
• Appearance A clear brown liquid at room temperature, becoming more mobile when heated. Remains fluid even at 0°C.
• Organoleptic Properties Pleasant floral aroma. Bitter taste with floral overtones when diluted 1000 x into water.
•Stability When stored in the original unopened containers BetaBio 10 % is very stable. Use any opened container as soon as possible.
• Quality All Hopsteiner® products are produced in plants accredited to internationally accepted quality standards. BetaBio 10% is certified as Kosher, including for Passover, GRAS, Food Grade and is not an antibiotic.
- Supplementary Information
• Beta acids Beta acids are natural, major constituents of hops and are present in amounts ranging from about 2 – 12 % according to variety. They are soluble in organic solvents and are readily extracted by liquid or supercritical carbon dioxide. CO2 extracts produced commercially for use in brewing typically contain from 15 – 35 % beta acids, of which there are three major homologs - colupulone, lupulone and adlupulone. All three are active as anti-bacterial agents.

- Product Use
We recommend that BetaBio 10 % be used in its undiluted form. It is not difficult to pump and is compatible with the usual materials used in food processing plants.
• Dosage Actual dosage will depend on the application, but typically 50-100 ppm of BetaBio 10 % is effective as an antibacterial agent.
• Addition BetaBio 10 % may be dosed directly into process streams or added to solid or semisolid products in a suitable blender. When dosing into pipelines or vessels it is best to ensure that there is vigorous mixing to disperse the product quickly. This can be achieved by injecting into the bulk fluid at high pressure through a suitable nozzle or small bore pipe so that a high degree of turbulence is generated.

Safety & Health
- Safety
BetaBio 10 % should be handled with due care, especially to prevent contact with the eyes. Any contamination of the skin should be washed off with soap and water. If BetaBio 10 % gets into the eyes, irrigate with excess water until clear and seek immediate medical attention.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging
BetaBio 10 % is regularly available in 20 kilo pails (HDPE) or 200 kilo drums (PP). Other pack sizes (including totes) are available on request.
Storage & Handling
- Storage
BetaBio 10 % has excellent storage stability and may be kept for at least one year at ambient temperature in unopened, original containers. Bulk storage in heated tanks (up to 40°C) is also possible, provided the product is not directly exposed to air and used within about 3 months.
