Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

Will using hop extracts make my product taste like beer?

FAQ Toggle Icon
No. While hops are synonymous with brewing, our advanced extraction technology allows us to isolate specific compounds (such as alpha acids for antimicrobial control or specific oils for sensory enhancement). We can engineer hop extracts that provide the functional benefits — such as shelf-life extension or mouthfeel modification — without impacting your product's intended flavor profile.
FAQ

What exactly can hop extracts do outside of flavor?

FAQ Toggle Icon
Our ongoing hop research reveals that hops are incredibly versatile. Beyond flavor, custom applications include:
Microbial control: Stabilization of beverages and food products to control spoilage without synthetic preservatives.
‍Foam stability: Improving head retention in carbonated or protein-rich beverages.
Bitterness management: Masking off-notes or balancing acidity in complex formulations.
Bioactive potential: Exploring antioxidant and other functional properties for health-focused applications.
FAQ

How does the custom development process work?

FAQ Toggle Icon
We view this as a partnership. Our process is designed to minimize your risk:
1. Consultation: We identify your goals, challenges and the specific matrix of your product.
2. Lab analysis: Our team performs hop research on your specific base product to determine the optimal extract profile.
3. Prototyping: We develop a custom formulation or dosage recommendation.
4. Verification: You test the prototype to ensure it meets your quality and performance standards.
5. Scaling: Once validated, we help you integrate the solution into your full-scale production.
