CAS 25522-96-7: Isohumulone

Description: Isohumulone, with the CAS number 25522-96-7, is a chemical compound derived from the hops plant, specifically from the isomerization of humulone during the brewing process. It is one of the primary bittering agents in beer, contributing to its flavor profile and stability. Isohumulone is characterized by its bitter taste, which is essential for balancing the sweetness of malt in beer. Chemically, it belongs to the class of alpha acids and is known for its potential antioxidant properties. Isohumulone is soluble in alcohol and has limited solubility in water, which influences its behavior during brewing and storage. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. The compound's stability and bitterness can vary depending on factors such as pH and temperature, making it an important consideration for brewers aiming to achieve specific flavor characteristics in their products. Overall, isohumulone plays a crucial role in the sensory attributes of beer and has garnered interest for its potential applications beyond brewing.
