Hops (Humulus lupulus) are the female flower cones (strobiles) of the perennial hop plant, used primarily as a bittering, flavoring, aroma, and natural preservative agent in beer brewing. Modern beer relies on hops to provide its characteristic bitter taste, floral or citrus aroma, and microbial stability — hops's alpha-acids (humulone, cohumulone) inhibit gram-positive bacteria. The active compounds also include beta-acids, prenylated flavonoids (xanthohumol), and terpenoids that give individual hop varieties (Cascade, Citra, Saaz, Hallertau) their distinct flavor profiles. Beyond beer, hops extract and hops oil are used as flavoring agents in non-alcoholic beverages, herbal teas, baked goods, and dietary supplements (often marketed for sleep/relaxation, though clinical evidence is mixed). The FDA recognizes essential oils, oleoresins (solvent-free), and natural extractives of Humulus lupulus L. as GRAS for human consumption under 21 CFR 182.20. EFSA has evaluated hops CO2-extract as a safe feed flavoring. In cosmetics, hops extract is used as a skin-conditioning and antioxidant ingredient (CIR-assessed safe). Hops is a natural, plant-derived ingredient with a long history of human use dating back to at least the 9th century. CAS 8060-28-4 for the extract.
