Abstract
A method of purifying a hop raw material includes subjecting the hop raw material to a first processing step to form a hop oil extract substantially free of lipids, waxes, flavonoids, and plant matter, collecting the hop oil extract, and optionally subjecting the hop oil extract to a second processing step to yield a purified hop oil product.
Claims22
A method of producing a hop raw material extract, the method comprising:
- contacting the hop raw material with a non-aqueous solvent to form a solution;
- subjecting the solution to a first processing step to form a hop extract;
- and
- subjecting the hop extract to a second processing step to yield a purified hop oil product,
- wherein the second processing step comprises distillation.

A method for producing a hop oil extract, the method comprising:
- mixing a hop oil raw material with a non-polar solvent;
- cooling the mixture to form a cooled mixture comprising a solid phase and an extract phase;
- separating the solid phase from the extract phase, wherein the separating comprises filtering the cooled mixture;
- and
- removing the non-polar solvent from the extract phase to yield a hop oil extract.
