Abstract Hops (Humulus lupulus L.) are one of the vital raw materials brewing and their form storage directly influences final organoleptic sensations beers. When hops incorrectly stored, degradation important bitter compounds occurs fast. In present work, it was used ultraviolet/visible near infrared regions, maximized by Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatographic (UPLC) analyses, to identify be...

6-prenylnaringenin (6pn) is a chiral prenylflavonoid found most prevalently in hops ( humulus lupulus ) and present in hops and hop products. it is an isomer of the potent phytoestrogen, 8-prenylnaringenin. an enantiospecific method for quantitation 6pn by lc-esi-ms has been developed. baseline enantiomeric resolution of 6pn was attained on a chiralpak ® ad-rh column with an isocratic mobile ph...

Hops (Humulus lupulus L.) constitute a species that grows spontaneously in the region of Calabria (South Italy), but species’ morphological and genetic characterization have not yet been explored. Thus, we explored some traits related to cones wild hops from three Calabrian sites: Cosenza (CS), Catanzaro (CZ), Vibo Valentia (VV). In addition, eight Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) were adopted inv...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the anxiolytic effects of xanthohumol, a component of Humulus lupulus (hops), and its potential interaction with the benzodiazepine binding site on the y-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) receptor in the male Sprague-Dawley rat. This was a prospective, randomized, between-subjects experimental study. Fifty-five rats were assigned to 1 Sof 5 groups with 11 ra...

The emergence of drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a major challenge in tuberculosis treatment and control. In addition, multidrug resistance (MDR) and, more broadly, extensive drug resistance (XDR) have hampered treatment with common antibiotics. Thus, an herbal medicine containing antimicrobial capability can be a good alternative to antituberculosis drugs. In this study, we re...
