| Abstract:
Myrtenol is identified as one of the oxygenated products of betapinene and a component of hop oil which affects the degradation of alpha-acids. In fresh hops, beta-pinene is separated from alpha-acids within the lupulin gland. The concept of an endogenous antiocidant is re-examined. | |
