TL;DR: In this article, nine prenylated bitter compounds from hop were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase in allosteric sites via hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic, van der Waals (vdW), and electrostatic force.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of UHPLC-Q/TOF-MS-based metabolomics analysis for the evaluation of bitter-tasting Krausen metabolites during beer fermentation
TL;DR: In this paper, the evaluation of bitterness qualities and characteristic metabolite profiles in Krausen during beer fermentation were investigated using a UHPLC-Q/TOF-MS-based metabolomics approach and sensory evaluation analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Varietal differences in the phytochemical components’ accumulation and aroma profile of three Humulus lupulus cultivars
TL;DR: In this article, three hop varieties (TP1, TP2, TP3, and QTF) in China were sampled to investigate the correlation between the harvest maturity and these three components, which indicated that polyphenols synthesized earlier than hop bitter acids, followed by the aroma compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Key Enzymes Involved in the Synthesis of Hops Phytochemical Compounds: From Structure, Functions to Applications.
TL;DR: In this article, the primary enzymes involved in the three major pathways of hops' phytochemical composition are summarized, including branched-chain aminotransferase (BCAT), BRKDH, carboxyl CoA ligase (CCL), valerophenone synthase (VPS), prenyltransferase (PT), 1-deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate synthase(DXS), 4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate reductase (H
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential enzymes involved in beer monoterpenoids transformation: structures, functions and challenges.
TL;DR: The biotransformation of monoterpenes and monoterpene alcohols in bacteria and yeast, and potential enzymes related to the transformation of them are reviewed, andCrystal structures of these enzymes have been partially resolved.
