ABSTRACT:
A process for the separation of the constituents of CO.sub.2 hop extracts employing aqueous alkali is disclosed, as well as the process for the conversion of the separated alpha acid fraction into an isoalpha or isohumulone fraction by a process which requires heat alone. Advantageously, the two (2) steps can be combined into a single two-step process, and the ultimate isoalpha acid or isohumulone employed in the bittering of beer, this ultimate end product not requiring the presence of any of the usual synthetic solvent contaminants or other unnatural conditions. The non-acidic fraction may be employed in the flavoring of beer in the usual manner, whereas the beta acid fraction may be converted to hydrogenated isoalpha acids or isohumulones, also for employment in the bittering of beer. The individual alpha acid, beta acid, and non-acidic aqueous fractions, as well as the hydrogenated isoalpha acids or isohumulones, are also disclosed, each having its own individual application or utility as previously indicated.
