Wort boiling converts the insoluble alpha acids to
a soluble form
Iso-alpha acids are the main
bittering compounds
Essential oils are responsible for
hop aroma
Hydrocarbons are very volatile and
Hydrocarbons are very volatile and do not survive boiling (dry hopping)
Oxygenated fractions are less volatile and
more aromatic (late hop aroma)
Hop deterioration happens trough oxidation and polymerisation of
of α- and β-acids (cheese and rancid
