• Flavoring – Having been used to give flavor and aroma to beer for centuries, hops have developed a broad range of flavor and aroma profiles, which can be utilized as a flavorant in numerous foods.
• Preservation – Originally hops were added to beer for their preservative properties. The antibacterial compounds have been isolated and characterized, and are active at very low levels. Hop products have been used in numerous prepared meat products, beverages and fresh foods with great results.
