Human bitterness detection thresholds of hop acids in beer and honey

Creator:

Kolpin, Kathryn M.

Abstract:

Alpha acids are found in the lupulin glands of hops cones. These acids have no bitterness of their own, but can be isomerized and subsequently hydrogenated to form bitter iso-α-acids and tetrahydroiso-α-acids respectively. Current literature values for the detection thresholds of iso-α-acid and tetrahydroiso-α-acid in lager beer have been reported...
