Hops - Molecular Concentrate Powder

Hops Molecular Concentrate Powder turns the aroma of hops into a shelf-stable, instant-dissolving flavor that captures the vibrant and nuanced characteristics of hops grown in the Pacific Northwest. This water-soluble powdered concentrate delivers a high-fidelity sensory experience, ideal for enhancing the true-to-type hop aromatics in your formulations, whether used in single or multiple stages.

Background:

Traditional hop extraction methods contain high levels of bitter alpha and beta acids and struggle to maintain the depth and complexity of hop aromas, particularly in hop-forward beverages. Cold-side additions and biotransformation processes can extend production times and compromise the stability of these popular flavors. Sthesia's Hops Molecular Concentrate Powder addresses these challenges by offering a stable, vibrant, and true-to-type hop aroma that is easy to incorporate into various applications.
