CIS-ISOHUMULONE

Description:
Cis-Isohumulone, with the CAS number 1534-03-8, is a chemical compound primarily known for its role in the brewing industry, particularly as a bittering agent derived from hops. It is a type of iso-alpha acid formed during the brewing process when hops are boiled, leading to the isomerization of humulone. This compound is characterized by its distinct bitter flavor, which contributes to the overall taste profile of beer. Cis-Isohumulone is soluble in alcohol and has limited solubility in water, making it more effective in alcoholic beverages. Its chemical structure includes a complex arrangement of carbon rings and functional groups, which are responsible for its reactivity and interaction with other compounds. Additionally, it exhibits antimicrobial properties, which can help in preserving the quality of beer by inhibiting the growth of certain bacteria. Overall, cis-Isohumulone plays a crucial role in defining the bitterness and stability of beer, making it an important compound in the brewing process.
